Reference/Critical Ranges Setup
Reference and Critical Ranges
Reference and Critical Range Setup options allow the operator to define the reference and critical
ranges for each analyte by age group, gender and sample type. Up to 32 age ranges may be defined.
In addition, the operator may select one reference range as the default.
Each facility should establish reference ranges based on its own population demographics.
The Critical Range limits are used in conjunction with the Critical Results Rerun option. When the
limits of the critical range defined by the operator are exceeded, the system automatically reruns
the analyte. The operator may delete one result or send both to the host.
The Critical Results Rerun option should not be enabled for analytes with POS or NEG result reports
such as the drug of abuse tests (DAT).

default.

The system must be in Standby , Stopped, Startup, Instrument Down, or Homing to edit these ranges or
