GLOSSARY-1
GLOSSARY
A
- Ampere, a unit of electric current.
Accuracy
- Ability of the instrument to agree with a predetermined reference value at any
point within the operating range.
Algorithm
- A particular procedure for performing an analysis.ANSI
ANSI -
Acronym for American National Standards Institute
.
ASCII
- Acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Assay Values
- Values of all parameters in a control established by extensive assay of that
control.
ASTM -
Acronym for American Society for Testing and Materials.
Average Value -
A value determined by adding a set of results and dividing by the number of
results. Usually referred to as the simple arithmetic mean.
Background Count
- Measure of the amount of electrical or particle interference.
Batch
- An
%
group of 20 patient samples used for monitoring MCV, MCH, and MCHC as an
automatic QC procedure or a group of patient results that you specify in Database Query for
group printing and/or transmitting to a host computer.
Batch Mean
- The mean or average of a set of samples. For
%
Analysis the batch mean is a
value based on a statistical averaging technique and is a type of “weighted moving average.” It
is used to estimate what a simple average result of a very large number of samples (population
mean) might be by using a small number of samples.
Baud
- A rate defining how many data bits per second are transferred during communications
between two pieces of equipment.
BSV (Blood Sampling Valve)
- A three-sectioned valve that separates the aspirated sample
into three parts for analysis in red cell bath, white cell bath, and flow cell.
Btu
- British Thermal Unit.
Calibration
- A procedure to standardize the instrument for accuracy by determining its
deviation from calibration references and applying any necessary correction factors.
Calibration Factors
- Called CAL FAC on the CBC Calibration screen. These are values the
system uses to fine-tune instrument accuracy.
Carryover
- The amount, in percent, of WBC, RBC, Hgb, and Plt remaining in diluent
following the cycling of a blood sample.
CBC (Complete Blood Count)
- All blood parameters that the instrument measures except
for the leukocyte differential parameters.
Cell Control
- A preparation made of human blood with stabilized cells and surrogate
material. It is used for daily instrument QC.
Check Valve
- A one-way valve that routes liquid or air through the Diluter.
