rangeS
Depending on the panel type, the range on the display and printout will be titled
reFerence rangeS or threSholdS. The low end, when the test displays thresholds,
is set to ‘0’ and is unchangeable.
Some analytes are designed for three distinct ranges. The meter distinguishes between
two range and three range analytes in the setup screen by differentiating the symbol
between the lower and upper values.
 • Analytes with a dash – Two ranges. The normal range is any value between
the two 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
clarification.
