ome analytes are designed for three distinct ranges. The meter distinguishes between
t
wo range and three range analytes in the setup screen by differentiating the symbol
b
etween the lower and upper values.
• A
nalytes with a dash – Two ranges.
T
he normal range is any value between the
t
wo numbers displayed. Depending on the product, the normal range may be
inclusive or exclusive of the upper number. Consult the product package insert or
call Biosite Technical Services for clarification. These values will be in reverse video
on the patient results.
• Analytes with a comma – Three ranges possible. If the lower number is 0.0, the
meter treats the analyte as having only two ranges. If the lower number is not 0.0,
the normal range is any value less than the lower number. The first abnormal range is
any value between the two numbers and is inclusive of these numbers. These values
will be boxed on patient results. The second abnormal range is any value greater
than the upper number. These values will be in reverse video on patient results.
Consult the product package insert or call Biosite Technical Services for
