NOTE: The fields described in the following chart are used for
all assays unless noted.
Field Description
Assay Name The assay name can be up to 6 characters in length.
Assay Number
(Facilitator Note: See
AEROSET System Opera-
tions Manual for additional
information on editing an
assay number.)
An assay # (range 1 - 9999) must be defined and must be unique for every assay.
NOTE: If a Host computer is connected, the assay number must match the one used
by the Host.
A Line / B Line Assays are defined to run in the A-Line (outer) or B-Line (inner).
NOTE: This field is not used for ICT, Indices, and Calculated assay files.
Quantitative Ranges Title of section.
• Allows the Operator to enter text (up to 6 characters) to replace the numerical result when
reporting values below the Min value entered. The default is blank.
• Min and Max value The values in these fields represent the printable range for a numerical result and may be
used to define the reportable range of the assay. The default setting is 0.
NOTE: These values are not adjusted by the System for sample dilutions. When a
Max value is defined, this value must be multiplied by the highest dilution factor for
any configured Dil 1, Dil 2, or manual dilution. There is no Rerun rule associated
with this value. Use the L-Linear Range-H fields to define limits that are
automatically adjusted for the sample dilution, and for which there are available
Rerun rules (LL and LH Result Error Codes).
NOTE: Some assays may have a defined minimum and maximum value, as well as
a defined minimum and maximum text field.
• Panic-L and Panic-H The values in these fields cause the PVL (Panic Value Low) and PVH (Panic Value High)
Result Error Codes to occur. This field is user defined.
• L-Reference-H The values in these fields represent the reference range of the assay.
NOTE: Each laboratory should establish its own reference range.
• Allows the Operator to enter text (up to 6 characters) to replace the numerical result when
reporting values above the max value entered. The default is blank.
• L-Linear Range-H The values in these fields represent the reportable range of the assay and cause the LL
(Linear Low) and LH (Linear High) Result Error Codes to occur.
NOTE: The Linear Low and Linear High values should be adjusted for the dilution
on assays which dilute the sample as part of the standard protocol to prevent
erroneous flagging, i.e., urine Creatinine.
NOTE: These values are adjusted for the sample dilution.
Qualitative Ranges Title of section.
• Upper Row Allows the Operator to enter thresholds for each qualitative result. Values must be entered in
concentration or activity.
• Lower Row Allows the Operator to enter up to six (6) characters to be reported for each range.
