6-32 Sysmex XE-5000 Instructions for Use
Revised April 2007
The sample explorer and data browser screens display HPC
rank.
HPC rank is indicated as shown below.
+++: Displayed if the conditions for “+++” indication, as set
on the Rank Limit setting screen, are satisfied.
++: Displayed if the conditions for “++” indication, as set on
the Rank Limit setting screen, are satisfied.
+: Displayed if the conditions for “+” indication, as set on
the Rank Limit setting screen, are satisfied.
-: Displayed if none of the conditions for “+++”, “++” and
“+” indication, as set on the Rank Limit setting screen,
are satisfied.
For details of the display methods on the Information
Processing Unit (IPU), see “Chapter 3: Stored Samples
(Explorer)” and “Chapter 4: Data Browser” in the Software
Guide.
See also “Chapter 5: Instrument Setup” in the Software
Guide for the setting of HPC rank limits.
Reference intervals
In normal pediatric and adult populations there is an absence
to extremely low levels of HPC.
Sysmex recommends that each laboratory establish its own
expected reference intervals based upon the laboratory’s
patient population. The CLSI document* C28-A2 contains
guidelines for determining reference intervals and intervals for
quantitative laboratory tests.

Clinical Laboratory;

Laboratory Standards Institute), 940 West Valley Road,
Suite 1400, Wayne, PA 19087-1898, 2000.
Note:
Analysis results for HPC# are not displayed if the
analysis was performed in normal mode.
Information
The laboratory should perform additional testing if
more specific or sensitive limitation information is
needed.
