Reportable Range
The Reportable Range is operator-defined and represents the range verified at the operator’s site.
The Reportable Range may or may not be the same as the Analytical Range. A result exceeding the
Reportable Range is flagged
ORR HI or ORR LO (

The Reportable Range feature is available on all configured chemistries except drugs of abuse (DAT)
and Beckman Coulter Performance Verification Tests (PVT).
The Reportable Range feature is available for User Defined Reagents (UDR). When any UDR
parameter is edited, the instrument automatically changes the Reportable Range information to the
Usable Range defined for the UDR. The Reportable Range must be re-entered if the values are
different from the Usable Range.
NOTE
You cannot evaluate QC by Reportable Range. QC will not suppress or flag results based on Reportable
Range.
Suppress Results Option
For each analyte and sample type, the operator may enable or disable the Suppress Results option.
Results exceeding the Reportable Range are always flagged. If the
Suppress Results
check box is not
checked, the result number is printed on the report and sent to the LIS along with the remark. When
the
Suppress Results
check box is checked, instead of a numeric result the report will show Result
Suppressed and the numeric result is not sent to the LIS.
The Suppress Result option is not available for any chemistry that can report a less-than (<) or
greater-than (>) result. They are ACTM, CRP, PHE, TOB, ASO-, CRPH, PHY, VANC, C3, C-RP, RF, VPA,
