2. INTERPRETIVE (IP) MESSAGES
The SF-3000 analyzes, displays and prints hematology information in a format designed
to aid in the separation of POSITIVE or NEGATIVE data results. All analyzed samples
without analysis errors can be separated into a POSITIVE and NEGATIVE category
according to preset criteria.
The system bases its judgment on comprehensive surveys of numerical data, particle size
distribution, scattergrams, etc., and provides easy to understand flags/messages
indicating the instruments findings. These flags/messages are referred to as "IP
(Interpretive Program) messages."

Figure 4-1: IP Message Screen
POSITIVE (red back-light) : A POSITIVE result indicates a sample is judged
abnormal according to preset criteria for analysis
numerical values and cell morphology.
NEGATIVE (green back-light) : A NEGATIVE result indicates that the sample is
normal, i.e., has no analysis errors or IP messages.
The system sub-categorizes and flags POSITIVE results as "Diff.", "Morph." and/or
"Count" during WBC, RBC and PLT analysis.
These flags appear when abnormal cell population is
detected during computer analysis of the particle size
distribution, scattergrams and 23 parameters.
Diff. : Indicates abnormality in the WBC differential parameters.
Morph. : Indicates abnormal cell morphology.
Count : Indicates abnormality in the blood cell numerical count.
These sub-categories appear below the POSITIVE flag.
