CYCLING SAMPLES IN THE SECONDARY MODE
IMPORTANT
1. Poor quality specimens may require inspection and special attention. Specimens that may contain fibrin,
cell fragments or other debris, or have been difficult to collect, such as, pediatric or oncology specimens
may require special handling.
2. The HmX Hematology Analyzer is an automated cell counter that uses triplicate counting with strict
voting criteria, and has proprietary flagging algorithms to confirm parameter results prior to reporting.
Rarely, a transient or partial aperture blockage may not be detected by any of these processes. A partial
aperture blockage may cause erroneous results, such as, WBC count lower than what is actually present.
3. As with any analysis method in which a specimen of suspect quality is used, particular attention should
be given to the results. Verify the accuracy of results that are flagged and review all results that exceed
your laboratory's action limits.
4. Blood detectors are inactive in Secondary mode. Sample and aspiration integrity are not checked. To
avoid misleading results, ensure complete immersion of the aspirator tip in the sample. Do not remove
the sample until you hear the beep.
