• Contaminated reagent may cause high background. Perform cleaning/hard cleaning,
replace the diluent and try Blank measurement again.
• An extended period of inactivity without performing a ‘prepare for shipment’ procedure
may result in salt crystal development in the pneumatic components, which will
increase background count. Perform cleaning.
Running additional blank measurements will usually bring the blank measurements down to
an acceptable level. Blank measurements will be flagged if they exceed the following
thresholds:
• WBC ≥ 0.2 * 10
3
cells/µL
• RBC ≥ 0.05 * 10
6
cells/µL
• PLT ≥ 15 * 10
3
cells/µL
• HGB ≥ 100 g/dL
If the ‘ELite 5’ was not in use for an extended period of time, the start up of the
pneumatic system components can take significantly longer time and require more
blank measurements. To prevent these problems, use the ‘prepare for shipment’ process
when the ‘ELite 5’ analyzer will be inactive for an extended time.
