GLOSSARY
Synovial Fluid Joint fluid.
Test (Modes) The LH 700 Series has five different test modes. The test mode determines how
the LH 700 Series processes data. For example, in the CBC test mode the LH
700 Series performs a basic complete blood count on whole-blood samples. The
test mode appears as a field on the QA Results & Graphics window.
ToDo List A feature of the Workstation that lets you view a list of samples the instrument
has not yet processed. You can view a list of all the unprocessed samples or a list
of unprocessed samples for a particular test mode. You can sort these lists by
any column you choose.
Also called: Worklist, Pending List, Work Order.
Toolbar A group of graphic buttons on a Workstation window. You can select a button
on a Toolbar to quickly access commonly used functions.
Trend Values that continue to increase or decrease gradually over a period of time.
Contrast with shift.
Tube Adapters Special holders that enable small tubes to fit in standard cassettes. Two sizes of
gray sleeve adapters accommodate 2.0-mL tubes and 3.0-mL tubes.
UL Underwriters Laboratory.
User Name A 16-character identifier that uniquely identifies the processor of the samples.
Also called: operator ID.
UWBC UWBC (Uncorrected WBC)
This field and parameter label do not appear on any screen if the parameter was
excluded as part of parameter selection in setup.
Uncorrected WBC, labeled "UWBC" is measured directly using the Coulter
Principle.
UWBC cannot be edited. The uncorrected WBC is displayed on the CBC Data
tab.
Vac Volts of alternating current.
VCS (Volume,
Conductivity and
Scatter) A flow cytometry technology applied in hematology to enhance WBC
subpopulation classification and percent Reticulocyte measurement.
Voting After the computer corrects for coincidence, it compares the three count
periods. Voting may occur for WBC, RBC, Plt, MCV, RDW and MPV. Agreement
among the three count periods causes them to be averaged to determine the
parameter result.
W Watt, a unit of power.
