S-A1c tail
Cause • The HbA1c tail rises more than the threshold value.
Drift baseline
Cause • The baseline drifted more than the threshold value.
Noise detected
Cause • Noise was detected in the chromatogram.
Duplex peaks
Cause • Two or more peaks of the same name were detected.
Hb low value
Cause • The total area was smaller than the threshold value.
• The sample had insufficient volume for measurement.
• Hemolysis or anemia sample was measured with a sample rack for whole blood sample.
NOTE: These samples can be measured with the anemia rack (ANEMIA). However, some patients may
have low hemoglobin levels because of blood disorders, therefore be wary of measured values.
HbA0 abnormally high value
Cause • The HbA0 area was larger than the threshold value.
• Whole blood sample was measured with a rack for hemolysis sample.
• The hemoglobin concentration of the hemolysis sample is too high.
Hb abnormally low value
Cause • The difference between the maximum and minimum volume of light absorption was less than the
threshold value.
• The sample volume was insufficient.
• Hemolysis sample was measured with a rack for whole blood sample.
NOTE: These samples can be measured with the anemia rack (ANEMIA). However, some patients may
have low hemoglobin levels because of blood disorders, therefore be wary of measured values.
Cannot detect S-A1c peaks
Cause • The S-A1c peak could not be detected.
Abnormal peak count
Cause • Less than two peaks could be detected.
• Twenty or more peaks were detected.
• The first peak showed other than HbA1
ab.
Hb abnormally high value
Cause • Light absorption was higher than the threshold value.
• Whole blood sample was measured with a rack for hemolysis sample.
• The hemoglobin concentration of the hemolysis sample is too high.
Retention time (Variant mode only)
Cause • Fluid is leaking from the eluent tubes or fluid pump.
• Air bubbles have formed in the fluid pump check valve or optical unit cell.
• The wrong bottle cap has been fit on the wrong eluent pack.
