Abaxis VetScan HM5 - Linearity Ranges

Specifications 10-3
10.2 Linearity Ranges
The VetScan HM5 is guaranteed to provide specified accuracies within its linearity range when prop-
erly calibrated and maintained. Beyond this range, results may still be displayed, but accuracy is no
longer guaranteed.
If the value is over the maximum range of guaranteed linearity, the instrument cannot measure it, and
the result will be marked with an E , m , M , or N flag.
To measure a sample whose parameters exceed the maximum linear value indicated in the table below,
predilution is recommended.
The following tables list the linearity ranges for primary parameters in normal measuring mode and
prediluted mode.
