The factory «default» flag values programmed on the ABX Micros
based on a study of normal cell populations. These Default values can be adjusted to
accommodate specific populations and/or geographical locations based on those spe-
cific studies. It is highly recommended to maintain the default values unless population
and/or geographical location studies are known.
Numerous factors can contribute to constant Morphology flagging. If you are experienc-
ing constant flagging, Section 6,
