(1) By default, the reference/normal ranges are implemented into the instrument software for unspecified: gender, age and sample type. All exceptions
to this general approach are clearly stated. Note that the instrument software does not allow a reference range beyond the specified measuring range.
(2) Refers to the lower limit for females to the upper limit of males.
(3) Refers to the lower limit for Caucasian females to the upper limit of Caucasian males.
(4) Upper limit refers to nonsmokers.
(5) Default value rounded to one tenth place value.
(6) The proposed default reference range for newborns (3.0 - 10.0) mg/dL refers to the lower level of the specified bilirubin measuring range to the upper
level for 1-2 days old full term patients. This lower limit is truncated due to the specified bilirubin measuring range. The same default reference range
for newborn is applied to unspecified ages (all).
