5.3.6 Reference Range
You can set a reference range for every parameter. The system will flag any analysis result
that exceeds this range with either an H or L. This analyzer divides the patients into 5 patient
groups, which are all listed in Table 5-3. The default ranges are given. Note that the default
ranges are for references only. Each laboratory is encouraged to establish its own
references.
