IMPORTANT Do not make any adjustments to the flag sensitivities or the thresholds without first
consulting your Beckman Coulter Representative. Otherwise, your system may not perform to
specifications. Any change to thresholds or sensitivity affect overall system performance.
IMPORTANT Due to the system’s calculation methods for determining the age from the date of birth, the
precision of the age calculation is limited to ±1 day. When the age is close to the limit of a flagging range,
the adjoining flagging range may be selected.
