Below is an example of reference, abnormal and acon ranges. In this example, the reference range was
set as 4.0-7.5. The low acon range was set at 2.0 and the high acon range was set at 15.0. The
instrument calculates the abnormal range. When ranges are set and the prole is loaded onto the
instrument, the result screen will reect these changes. An example of a result screen displaying range
customizaon can be found in Interpreng Results with customizaon features applied.
Note: Ne
ver enter reference, acon or custom reportable ranges outside of the
manufacturers reportable range.
Custom Reportable Ranges
Restrict the display range to custom values. For example, healthcare organizaon managers may wish to
limit the display ranges to values that have been veried using calibraon vericaon materials. Set the
low and high values. Narrowing the reportable range of certain tests may aect the presentaon of
other dependent test results. In the table below, if any of the results in the rst column are outside the
reportable range, the dependent test results listed in the second column will be suppressed (displayed as
<>).
Note: Ne
ver enter a null (blank) value for the Custom Reportable range for Low or High.
The values can be le as -99999.9 for Low or 99999.9 for High.
Note: Rang
e customizaon may not apply to all cartridge types.
