Analysis parameters:
WBC (White Bloodcell Count), RBC (Red Bloodcell Count), HGB (hemoglobin), HCT
(hematocrit), MCV (mean corpuscular volume), MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin),
MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration), PLT (platelet), RDW-SD (RBC
distribution width-standard deviation), RDW-CV (RBC distribution width-coefficient of
variation), PDW (platelet distribution width)*, MPV (mean platelet volume), P-LCR (platelet
large cell ratio)*, LYM% (W-SCR), MXD% (W-MCR), NEUT% (W-LCR), LYM# (W-
SCC), MXD# (W-MCC), NEUT# (W-LCC) (RDW-SD or RDW-CV: Switch over type)
However, the parameters in pre-diluted mode are eight: WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV,
MCH, MCHC, PLT.
