PLT IP Message Criteria
1. Normal Analysis
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 PLT# error ("****") or analysis error ("----")
If any parameter result that is used as the flagging criterion cannot be obtained due to an
error, the IP messages will not appear (i.e. parameters appearing as "****", "----" and
"++++").
2. Capillary Mode Analysis
For Capillary mode analysis, the conditions applicable on IP messages given for normal
analysis above also apply. In addition, IP messages only appear for the CBC-8
parameters, and only "POSITIVE" IP messages appear.
