5.3.3. Analysis reject
A reject flag (shown by *) occurs when two counts on a parameter differ more than the pre-
defined limits. It indicates that the parameter result is inconclusive and should be investi-
gated for (Manual) rerun status and/or instrument malfunction if consistent on every sample.
▼ RBC
If the RBC parameter is rejected, the MCV, MCH, MCHC, and RDW parameter results are re-
placed by «---» and/or have the «*» indicator.
▼ WBC
If the WBC parameter is rejected, the diff. parameter results are replaced by «---» and/or have
the «*» indicator .
▼ PLT
If the PLT parameter is rejected, the PCT, MPV, and PDW parameter results shall be replaced
by «---» and/or have the «*» indicator.
▼ Hemoglobin
◆ A «!» suspect flag is generated if two consecutive Hemoglobin blank measurements are dif-
ferent from the pre-defined value in «
Settings / Type Parametering / Alarms and Curves
Threshold Tab / Alarm Level Grid / HGB parameter absolute value » Section 5, 8.3.1. Alarm
levels , page 5-37.
◆ A «!» suspect flag is generated if the three Hemoglobin measurements are different from
the pre-defined value in «
Settings, Type Parameterising, Alarms and Curves Threshold Tab,
Alarm Level Grid, HGB parameter percent value » Section 5, 8.3.1. Alarm levels , page 5-37.
◆ If 3 consecutive « ! » suspect flags are noted on Hemoglobin during «Sample Analysis», the
Hemoglobin value will be rejected and replaced with «---».
◆ During instrument «STARTUP», the HGB Blank measurement value is pre-defined from fresh
Diluent. If the Blank value is not within the measured limits, the message «
Startup Failed:
HGB Blank » will be displayed.
▼ LMNE
◆ A reject on the LMNE channel indicates a poor correlation between the resistive and the
optical measurements on the matrix. It is shown by a «*» on all the differential parameters
in % and #. The results are not reliable and specimen must be re-analyzed.
◆ NO flag: (see NO flag, page 4-32)
