WHO International Standard
The World Health Organization (WHO) has established International Biological Reference Preparations to
serve as reference sources for defining biological activity expressed in an internationally agreed upon unit
of measure. The FastPack
®
IP System provides the user the option 0f displaying results for Total PSA
based on the WHO standard.
WHO International Unit Mode
This mode enables the analyzer to output WHO standardized Total PSA results as an alternative to the
default Hybritech standardized results. No other tests are affected. An uppercase “W” will appear in the
second character row of the analyzer display when the WHO Unit Mode is enabled. The uppercase “W” will
also appear to the left of the result when results are printed in this same mode. There are no additional
steps required for using the WHO unit mode aside from enabling or disabling this mode. To learn more
