Warning flags
Warning flags are raised when the analyzer detects
a problem in the analysis process that may cause
incorrect or suspect results or the parameters in the valid blank measurement was too high.
y Baso percentage error
Algorithm error while distinguishing the WBC-s in the
BASO procedure.
Repeat the measurement. If the problem persists on a
given sample then perform a manual count on a
stained smear.
Z WBC noise high
During WBC count there is too much (more than 10%
of the total) detected pulse on the first 10 channel of
the 255 channel full range. This may be caused by
lyse resistant RBC, electronic noise, contaminated
WBC chamber or contaminated reagents.
Perform Clean process. Perform Hard Clean process.
Table 8. Warning Flags
Morphological flag
al flags are raised when the presence of morphologically abnormal cell types such as
immature granulocytes are suspected.
G Immature granulocytes
The count in the region of (low - high angle scatter of
ELite 5) where the Immature granulocyte typically
located is > 3% of the total WBC count.
Perform a manual count on a stained smear.
L Atypical lymphocytes
The count in the region of (low - high angle scatter of
ELite 5) where the atypical lymphocytes typically
located is > 1% of the total WBC count.
Perform a manual count on a stained smear
Table 9. Morphological Flags
Interpretive flags infer the presence of distributional abnormalities such as leukocytosis.
