MIC and MAC flags are generated
when the percentage of cells count-
ed in the microcytic area (MIC) and
macrocytic area (MAC) compared to
the total number of RBCs are above
the set limits for both MIC and MAC
percentages set up by the user.
RBC1 and RBC2 thresholds define
the microcytic and macrocytic areas
and are calculated according to the
MCV and the RDW from the RBC
histogram.
Fig. 4–34 PLT histogram
The PLT histogram contains 256
channels between 2fL and 30fL. A
mobile threshold (at 25 fL by de-
fault) moves according to the
microcytic RBC’s that are present in
the platelet analysis area.
The PLT flags are generated under
the following conditions:
%MAC %MIC
