NOTE:
Customers in the United States:
Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) and
Platelet Large Cell Ratio (P-LCR) parameters have not been approved
for reporting by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The obtained
values should be excluded from all print forms until reporting approval has
been obtained. See
Chapter 11
for information on excluding these
values.
