Notes:
a) If function “Correction for HbF levels less than 20 %” is activated, the change is 0 for all
parameters.
b) Plasma sample.
c) Calculated value from mathematical superposition of measured pure interference spectrum
on measured reference spectrum.
d)
ctBil = 400 µmol/L.
e) Intralipid (20 % solution) at 4 Vol % gives final test level of 0.8 %.
f) Intralipid (20 % solution) at 2 Vol % gives final test level of 0.4 %.
There is no interference from fetal hemoglobin (HbF) when the analyzer applies HbF correction.
There is no interference from bilirubin (conjugated/unconjugated) up to 1000 µmol/L.
