Ranges

This secon allows for the seng of ranges. Range opons are reportable, reference and acon. If a

reference and reportable range are set for an analyte, the system denes the area in between these as

abnormal. Seng ranges changes the appearance of the result screen on the instrument. Results that

fall in the reference range have no color or arrows associated with that result (in the result bubble).

Results that fall in the acon range (crical range) will have a red p and a solid arrow in the result

bubble. Arrow direcon indicates if the result is out of range high or low. Results that fall outside of the

reference range, but not yet in the acon range are abnormal. The result bubble will have a yellow p

and hollow arrows indicang whether the result is high or low.

Range

Range opens to a list of analytes and the custom reportable range display. To begin eding:

1. Click on the + icon found in far le hand column.

2. Click on the Edit buon.

3. To customize reference range(s), click on Add Range under the Reference Range secon. This area

allows for ranges to be set based on sample type and/or age and/or sex. It is also possible to enter

only the low and high range independent of sample type, age, or sex.

• To make reference ranges sample type dependent, check the box in the Apply column and choose

the sample types applicable by clicking the down arrow in the Sample Type column. The sample

types displayed are either the default types or the types customized in the Sample Types secon

of the Analyte Sengs category.

• Reference ranges are age dependent by default. Up to six dierent sets of ranges can be age

dependent. Enter the low and high age limits and units; or, to disable age dependent reference

ranges, click to un-check the box in the Apply column. To use this feature, another customizaon

item must be added to the prole: Paent Sengs > Paent Informaon and Posive Paent

Idencaon > Age and Sex

• To make reference ranges sex dependent, check the box in the Apply column and choose the sex

applicable by clicking the down arrow in the Sex column. To use this feature, another

customizaon item must be added to the prole: Paent Sengs > Paent Informaon and

Posive Paent Idencaon > Age and Sex

To customize acon range(s), click on Add Range under the Acon Range secon. The same structure is

in place for changing acon range as it is for reference range.
