Specimen Modes
Patient, QC, Resistant RBC Mode Flagging (when WOC and NOC are equivalent)
Descriptor/Flag
Cause
Suggested Action
NWBC
1) When stroma interference is >1.5% of
analyzed events and there is no
declining WOC kinetic rate.
2) In patients with leukopenia the NWBC
is set when the stroma interference is
>2.5.%
Review smear for platelet clumps, giant
platelets or low levels of NRBCs and follow
your laboratory’s review criteria.
If no other suspect parameter flags are
present, the WBC and differential may be
reported.
NRBC
When stroma interference is >3.0% of
analyzed events and there is no
declining WOC kinetic rate,
or
When the patient is anemic and the
stroma interference is >0.9% of
analyzed events and there is no
declining WOC kinetic rate.
Review smear for the presence of NRBCs and
follow your laboratory’s review criteria.
NRBC
WBC
DFLT (NLMEB)
In addition to the criteria above, if the
number of analyzed events is high or
indicates a likely interference in the WBC
count, then the WBC alert and DFLT
NLMEB flags are also given.
Review smear for the presence of NRBCs and
follow your laboratory’s review criteria.
Confirm WBC count by alternate method.
RRBC
WBC
DFLT (NLMEB)
Stroma interference is high and a
declining WOC kinetic rate is detected.
Repeat in Resistant RBC Mode.
If flag persists, review for presence of NRBCs
and verify Lymph valve. Confirm WBC count
by alternate method.
FWBC
VAR LYMPH
WBC
DFLT (NLMBEB)
Stroma interference is low but a
declining WOC kinetic rate is detected,
or
Stroma interference is low and there is
no declining WOC kinetic rate, but
WOC>8.0 K/uL and LYM%>80%.
Repeat in FWBC mode. NOC result will be
reported as WBC result.
Review smear to confirm lymph count and
presence of fragile WBCs.
