7. Flags
7.1. Introduction
These instrument flags can be classified into 3 different groups:
1-
Results exceeding normal limits: See
.
2-
Flags linked to results that exceed the linear range of the instrument or leading to "
Rejected
Analysis
7.3. Flags linked to linearity range and rejected analysis, page 4-28
.
3-
Flags linked to the morphology of a blood cell population: See
7.4. Morphology flags, page 4-29
7.2. Normal limits
◆
The "
H
" flag located next to a parameter result indicates that the value is "Above" the upper limit
of the analysis limits set by the operator: See Section 6,
6.3. Analysis limits, page 6-12
.
◆
The "
L
" flag located next to a parameter result indicates that the value is "Below" the lower limit
of the analysis limits set by the operator: See Section 6,
6.3. Analysis limits, page 6-12
.
7.3. Flags linked to linearity range and rejected analysis
These flags are shown in different ways as indicated:
◆
7.3.1. Results exceeding linear range, page 4-28
.
◆
Results associated with an asterisk (*): See
7.3.2. Results rejected, page 4-28
◆
Dollar sign ($): See
7.3.3. Result comparison, page 4-28
.
◆
Exclamation mark for HGB (!): See
7.3.4. HGB blank reference, page 4-29
.

Tab.4-8 Displayed, printed and host transmitted results
7.3.2. Results rejected
◆
A "
Reject
" flag, shown by an asterisk (*) following the parameters WBC, RBC, HCT, or PLT indicates
that the ABX Micros
ES60
OT/CT has analyzed that parameter for a maximum of 3 counts. All 3
counts were outside the system precision limits for that specific parameter.
◆
The results should be verified by re-running the sample.
7.3.3. Result comparison
◆
A reportable result shown by a dollar sign ($) following the parameters WBC, RBC, HCT or PLT
indicates that the ABX Micros
ES60
OT/CT has analyzed that parameter for a maximum of 3 counts.
Two out of three counts were within the system precision limits for that specific parameter.
◆
The results can be reported, but the parameter should be monitored for the next sample
analyzed.
When D, !, *, $ flags are triggered, result cannot be sent automatically.

Whole blood parameter results within visible range will still give a result
value with a "
D
" indication. These results require a dilution (or PRP analysis
for PLT) of the sample with the instrument diluent.
