Measuring Abnormal Samples
The clinical significance of an ESR result obtained from an abnormal sample,
including but not limited to icteric, lipemic, cold agglutinins, anemic conditions, low
hemoglobin concentrations, hemolysis, or any pathological condition that interferes
or prevents a clear red blood cell to plasma interface, should be determined by the
clinician ordering the test. Manual and automated ESR measurements in samples
without a clear interface are subject to a high degree of variability. In the MINI-
CUBE, the sample may go undetected or yield variable results. Visually inspect the
sample at the conclusion of the test to confirm the presence of a clear interface.
