Understanding System Behavior with Custom Panels
When you select a custom panel, the system responds as follows:
• The system disables any functions that you cannot use with custom panels.
• If you select a custom panel that contains the tHb parameter and then select
Microsample, the tHb parameter is removed from the custom panel while
performing that analysis.
• If you select a custom panel that does not contain the pO
2
and pCO
2
parameters and then select Microsample, the system does not perform the gas
measurement phase of the microsample measurement.
The Analysis screen does not display custom panels under some conditions:
• you did not define custom panels in Setup
• if you select a sample type other than a patient sample type, such as QC,
AQC, or High G/L
• if you select pH only, pH Glu Lac only, or tHb only modes
