IDEXX VetTest* Chemistry Analyzer Operator’s Manual
Star Reference System
Note:
For adult and geriatric canine and adult and geriatric feline patient samples only.
In addition to providing Profile Interpretation, the VetTest analyzer provides
users with information on the degree of an abnormal result for certain
chemistries. The display and printout includes one (*), two (**), or three
(***) stars, along with the “Hi” or “Lo” indicators, when a test result falls
out of the reference range. The stars serve to identify unusual results

deviation from the reference range. The particular ranges for the star rating
were developed by G. Daniel Boon, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVP and A.H. Rebar,
DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVP. Both are experienced veterinary clinical pathologists
who based their findings on the VetTest analyzer’s database and their
professional judgement.
Stars should be treated as a tool, not to be used alone, but in conjunction with other
interpretive information such as physical examination and additional test results. The

Your Participation in Reference-Range Data Collection
Reference ranges for clinical chemistry analyses are important guidelines used
by veterinarians to determine an animal's health. Reference ranges are typically
established by testing samples from a large group of healthy animals and creating
a statistical distribution of results. In establishing the initial reference ranges for the
VetTest analyzer, IDEXX relied on historical, established normal ranges. An important
priority for IDEXX is to continuously improve the accuracy of these ranges, and we have
that unique ability with each new set of returned software diskettes we receive from our
worldwide user base.
You can contribute to this important work each time you run a test by first enabling your
VetTest analyzer, then indicating if this animal is sick or questionable, or healthy on the
appropriate VetTest analyzer screen display. To do so, first enable the patient “Health
Screen” after installing a new software disk:
From the Main Menu, press
1.
Settings
.
Press
2.
Health Screen
.
Press
3.
1
to enable Health Screen. (Press
0
to disable Health Screen.)
During analysis, a screen will be displayed after the patient identification is entered. This
screen prompts you to indicate if the patient is healthy.
Software Updates
IDEXX will mail you, at no charge, your new software disk containing updated
calibration data for newly produced slides. You should install the new disk promptly
in order to run new slide lots. The new disk also will contain additional enhancements
to the analyzer, such as new menu features and updated reference or quality control
ranges. You will also receive a return mailer for your old software. The returned disk
provides IDEXX with important information concerning reference ranges.
Note:
You
do not
need to perform a quality control procedure after inserting new
software. Keep to your regularly scheduled quality control.
