Users can also input a Specific Gravity of each sample for the medical record.

Also, the SA allows the user to dilute the sample with normal saline and will automatically
calculate results based on the dilution selected. The SA defaults to “Undiluted” but gives users 3
additional selection options.

• For a A 1:2 dilution, add 1 part sample to 1 parts saline. (ex: 0.4 mL, 0.4 mL)
• For a A 1:4 dilution, add 1 part sample to 3 parts saline. (ex: 0.2 mL, 0.6 mL)
• For a A 1:8 dilution, add 1 part sample to 7 parts saline. (ex: 0.1 mL, 0.7 mL)
