Reference Interval Setup
Introduction
When a reference interval and critical range are defined, they are printed beside the
result on the report. A result outside of the reference interval or critical range is
flagged. The interval and range are defined per chemistry or calculation with
distinction made for sample type, sex, and age group.
Chemistries must be configured and calculations must be enabled before intervals can
be defined.
The minimum entries necessary to save a reference interval are low age, low age unit,
high age, high age unit, low reference interval number and high reference interval
number.
