Defining an AGXS Limit
The AGXS Limit is a user-defined value. The AGXS Limit feature will only be
available if the UDR has a status of "calibrated" and uses a "Non-Competitive
Nephelometric" or "Non-Competitive NIPIA" protocol. Entry of this value in the
AGXS Limit field is only available after a UDR multi-point calibration has been
performed and approved.
Entering an AGXS Limit value into the UDR definition will clear the calibration
program of the defined UDR. The AGXS limit is calibration specific; therefore,
recalibrating a UDR using a multi-point calibration will clear the AGXS Limit field
and disable AGXS flagging.
During the sample run, if the calibrated rate for a UDR sample reaction is equal to or
greater than the value entered for the AGXS Limit in the UDR definition, the system
will suppress the results and display ******* in the results column on the results
display and printout instead of a numerical result. AGXS flagging shall not apply
during UDR Rate Mode runs.
