Operational messages and data flags appear on the
Screen, on printed reports and can be transmitted to a laboratory
computer system. The CELL-DYN 3000 monitors conditions and data
criteria that may affect the displayed results and these messages and flags
are used to alert the operator. Instructions for interpreting all flags,
numeric, scatterplot and histogram data should be incorporated into the
laboratory's procedure and used to determine the need for further action
and/or review of results. Messages are divided into the following
categories:
Instrument Messages:
• Fault Conditions
• Status Conditions
Parameter Flagging Messages:
• Dispersional Data Alerts
• Suspect Parameter Flags
• Suspect Population Flags
• Interpretive Messages
Detailed descriptions of the messages in each of the categories are given
in this section.
