Figure 14.5 Reticulocyte Patient Limits Screen
The
[RETIC PT LIMITS]
key is used to enter upper and lower flagging limits for
groups of patient samples. (For example, limits may be entered for adult males,
adult females, neonates, etc.)
Six sets of limits may be entered. Whenever a result falls outside an entered limit,
the result is displayed in color on the screen to alert the operator. Results displayed
in yellow are below the limit and results displayed in purple are above the limit.
The flagged result is underlined on the graphics report and in the Reticulocyte Data
Log when printed. Patient results that exceed the linearity specifications will be
suppressed and chevrons (
>>>>
) will be displayed and printed.
Procedure: Enter Retic Patient Limits
