Element Description
Quantitative results:
The value corresponds to the measured concentration:
e.g., 1.97, 123.4, etc.
In case a result is above / below a limit (measurement range), the
characters ‘<’ or ‘>’ are added in front of the result (limit) e.g., <0.05,
>10.0, etc.
Qualitative results: ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON cobas c 111 instrument
Units 10.1.05 CM Example: mg/dL
