SAMPLE ANALYSIS
Sysmex KX-21 Operator’s Manual -- Revised October 1998 2-27
6.2 Limitation of Hemoglobin
1. Hemoglobin measurements may be falsely elevated due to the influences of abnormal
samples including leukocytosis above 100,000/µL, lipemia or abnormal proteins in
blood plasma. The affect of lipemia and abnormal proteins may be removed by plasma
replacement or plasma blank procedures.
2. Performance specifications for hemoglobin results are assured only when instrument
environment and sample requirements are observed.
3. The hemoglobin method available for this analyzer cannot detect sulfhemoglobin,
verdohemoglobin choleglobin or other unusual degradation products of hemoglobin.
