Setting User Corrections
You can adjust the slope and the offset for HbA
1c
values, Albumin values, and
Creatinine values.
Corrected and uncorrected results outside the operating range are reported
the same way.
If results are within the operating range and a user correction is applied, the
corrected results are reported with an asterisk (*).
When recalling saved data, the saved data displays as uncorrected if a
correction is not set in the system. If a correction is set when the data is
recalled, that correction is applied to the recalled data.
