3.2 Critical Limits
Use this program to set the upper and lower limits for critical judgment.
The critical limits are used to call attention to life threatening values or to judge data as
unreliable. An exclamation mark (!) with a red back-light will appear to the right of
analysis data that falls outside of the critical limits. However, this exclamation mark will
not appear with data output via DP, GP or HC, only appears on the screen.
NOTE: "Data judged unreliable according to the Critical Limits" means data falls
outside of the normal analysis range due to instrumental abnormality,
patient abnormal values, cell morphology, etc.
To set critical limits:
(1) Press [Critical Limits] key in the Data Criteria submenu.
The Critical Limits setting screen containing the current setting values and numeric
keys will appear.
(2) Use the [↑] and [↓] keys to select a parameter.
Use the [←] and [→] keys to select the upper or lower limit. The current value for
the selected limit will be displayed above the numeric keys.
