Abbott i-STAT Alinity, Operation Manual, Page: 223 / 296

Below is an example of reference, abnormal and action ranges. In this example, the reference range was
set as 4.0-7.5. The low action range was set at 2.0 and the high action range was set at 15.0. The
instrument calculates the abnormal range. When ranges are set and the profile is loaded onto the
instrument, the result screen will reflect these changes. An example of a result screen displaying range
customization can be found in Interpreting Results with customization features applied .
Note: Never enter reference, action or custom reportable ranges outside of the
manufacturers reportable range.
Custom Reportable Ranges
Restrict the display range to custom values. For example, healthcare organization managers may wish to
limit the display ranges to values that have been verified using calibration verification materials. Set the
low and high values. Narrowing the reportable range of certain tests may affect the presentation of
other dependent test results. In the table below, if any of the results in the first column are outside the
reportable range, the dependent test results listed in the second column will be suppressed (displayed as
<>).
Note: Never enter a null (blank) value for the Custom Reportable range for Low or High.
The values can be left as -99999.9 for Low or 99999.9 for High.
Note: Range customization may not apply to all cartridge types.
