IP messages do not appear with the following data:
• QC analysis data
• Analysis data for calibration
• Background check data
• PDA check data
• Blank data
• "LOW BLOOD VOLUME" data
• Data with RBC# error ("****") or analysis error ("----")
"Abnormal" or "Suspect" messages are not generated for the RBC# < 0.5 x 10

the exception of RBC ABN Distrib.
If any parameter result that is used as the flagging criterion cannot be obtained due to an
