    Delta Check and Reflex Decision Rules are not reevaluated. Beckman Coulter Inc. does not claim to identify every abnormality in all samples. Beckman Coulter suggests using all available flagging options to optimize the sensitivity of instrument results. All flagging options include reference ranges (H/L), action and critical limits, definitive flags, suspect flags, parameter codes, delta checks, decision rules and system alarms.

  • Page 90: Rules For Flagging Results

    REVIEWING DATA PROCESSING RESULTS OVERVIEW Rules for Flagging Results (Decision Rules & Criteria) You can define rules for delta checking. When the Workstation finds a sample for a patient that already has sample results in the DataBase, it uses the rules you define to determine how to flag the sample.

    All flagging options include reference ranges (H/L), action and critical limits, definitive flags, suspect flags, parameter codes, delta checks, decision rules and system alarms. Beckman Coulter Inc. recommends avoiding the use of single messages or outputs to summarize specimen results or patient conditions.

  • Page 95: Suspect Messages,

    REVIEWING DATA SUSPECT MESSAGES IMPORTANT The operating temperature influences the rate of kinetic reactions. The LH 700 Series should be recalibrated whenever the ambient temperature changes by 10 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have to recalibrate the CBC due to a large change in laboratory ambient temperature, you should also re-evaluate the differential flagging sensitivity settings for your typical patient population.
