Sample ID
The Sample ID is the ID entered by the operator from a keyboard or hand-
held barcode reader for a manually processed specimen. For automatically
processed specimens, the sample ID can be read from a sample tube
barcode or entered into a list for one of the automatic processing list modes.
Sample IDs can be reused in the ‘ELite 5’ analyzer, but other identifying
information together with the sample ID uniquely identify the sample run.

Table 4. Sample Identification Information
8.3 Parameter Information
The parameter information area of the ‘ELite 5’ analyzer result screen lists information on 26
parameters.
Figure 54. Parameter Information Display
Each row shows the parameter name, value, flags (normal range, linearity range, and high
blank), units, and normal range. The unit area displays the differential percentage for the five
leukocyte subpopulations (NEU, LYM, MON, EO, BAS).
Parameter names are listed with their standard abbreviation. Parameter values are always
displayed according to their selected unit. In case of error during sample evaluation, the
software will display ‘E’ or” ---" signs to indicate the problems. Parameter values falling within
the normal range are un-flagged and displayed with black text. Parameter values falling
above the normal range are marked with a ‘+’ and displayed with red text, and values falling
below the normal range are marked with a ‘-‘, and displayed in blue text.
Normal range information can also be conveyed graphically as well as numerically. This
setting can be changed in the Main menu/Settings/Customize panel.
