DATA ANALYSIS
The differential count for all parameters, when totaled, equals 100% except when ALL differential
parameters appear as zeros. If the differential count displays all zeros, check for additional flagging
and take appropriate action according to your laboratory’s protocol.
Verify Retic
Verify Retic
is a comprehensive message that appears at the bottom of the population message window.
It occurs whenever the Retic parameter is a nonnumeric result, or when the Retic value is
accompanied by any of these flags: +, R, H, L. Note that conditions can exist where a
Normal RBC
Population
message occurs, but Retic is flagged or not available.
Edited Data
The
Edited Data
message appears for WBC, RBC and Plt populations when these parameters have been
edited by the operator. When Retics are edited, the Edited Data message appears on the RBC
population line.
Suspect Messages
Suspect messages flag an abnormal cell distribution or population. The system generates these
messages according to an internal algorithm. These messages appear in the Cell Classification window
on the Run Samples screen.
toggles this window on and off. Confirm any abnormality by
microscopic review. See Table 7.
Definitive Messages
Definitive messages flag results based on numeric limits entered by the laboratory for certain
parameters. If the results of a sample exceed the limits, the system generates a message. Table 8 lists
the limits which, if exceeded, generate the Definitive flags. These messages appear in the Cell
Classification window on the Sample Analysis screen.
toggles this window on and off. Results that
generate these messages may require review according to your laboratory’s protocol for that particular
condition. See also Table 7.
Note the following circumstances:
1.
An overrange (+++++) parameter result does not generate a Definitive message.
2.
With a colon (::::) code for the differential results, if the WBC count exceeds the limits for
Leukopenia or Leukocytosis, then these messages are generated.
3.
If a Pancytopenia message occurs, then neither a Leukopenia nor a Thrombocytopenia message is
generated.
