Table 5. Blank measurement ranges
Accepted blank values are essential for proper calibration and quality control
measurement. For this reason, no calibration or QC measurement can be performed
without accepted blank values.
Quality control measurement and calibration can be performed
only
if all blank
values are in the first region (receiving no flags or errors).
5.3.1.3 3-part only
Toggling this checkbox to the ON state will disable EOS and BAS measurement (and
will not use those reagents), and speed up the measurement cycle for the given
sample, and gives a “regular” 3-part result with GRA (granulocytes) population having
EOS, NEU and BAS calculated together. MID cells shall be referred to as monocytes
and some EOS cells as well. This option is valid for one sample run only, and gets
turned OFF for the next cycle. This mode does not mean that EOS and BAS reagents
can be disconnected, or the instrument could be used without them for 3part
measurements. EOS and BAS are system reagents, thus they must be present in all
cases.
5.3.1.4 Needle height setting
Selecting this option will modify sampling depth. Sampling depth is important for
defining how deep the needle should go into the sampling tube. The less blood you
have in the tube, the lower this value should be. Make sure that the value set
matches sampling tube characteristics. Incorrect setting can damage sampling tube
and sampling needle.
The value remains in this state further on. Its value is always displayed in the bottom
row of measurement sampling-ready screen.
