Population Condition Messages
WBC, RBC, Plt, Retic
Condition messages describe the WBC (including Differential, if performed), RBC and Plt
populations. These messages occur in the lower left corner of the Run Samples screen. They indicate
the WBC, RBC, Plt and Retic population status only. If there is a voteout for WBC, RBC or Plt, no
message appears for the respective parameter. If CBC only is performed, population messages refer to
WBC, RBC and Plt counts only.
WBC Differential
A nonnumeric Diff percent result gives an Abnormal WBC Population message. The abnormal WBC
message may not signal only morphological abnormality. When paired with a non-numeric result
such as ....., or :::::, it is due to partial clogs, full clogs, incomplete computations. Verify results
according to your laboratory procedures. See Table 7.
