1-20 Welcome to the ADVIA 2120/2120i Hematology System
Results
The ADVIA 2120/2120i system can run five types of tests: CBC, CBC/DIFF,
retic, CBC/retic, and CBC/DIFF/retic.
These tests can be selected by:
•
Setting the test selectivity to default
•
Requesting the test type from the Manual Sample ID tab
•
Including the test type on the barcode label
•
Including the test type in the workorder
You can select a test up to the time of aspiration. Once aspiration starts, the
system assigns the current test selectivity to the sample.
When aspirating samples through the manual open-tube or closed-tube samplers,
the test selected will remain the same until a different test is requested.
When running samples on the autosampler, the selectivity will always revert back
to the default setting.
The system alerts you to questionable results and potential system conditions in
three ways.
•
Sample/system flags are codes displayed in the Review/Edit tab and the Run
Screen. These codes are associated with a specific test parameter marked by
an asterisk. Isolated instances of flags are usually sample related. However,
multiple occurrences, especially for consecutive samples, can indicate an
analyzer problem.
•
Morphology flags are plus signs (+) displayed in the Review/Edit tab and the
Run Screen. These flags, one to three plus signs, alert the operator to possible
cellular conditions that may require additional laboratory attention, such as
preparing a slide for microscopic examination.
•
System messages are displayed on the status lines on the PC monitor. Along
with the messages, color-coded icons indicate the severity level of the
message.
