Printing of Results

• It is normal for results not to be displayed. Results are printed only to avoid the
possibility of transcription errors.
• Results printouts will list patient ID and DOB, Operator ID and time of test as well as
results for each parameter and its appropriate reference range. The printout may have
flags which should be interpreted by the Clinician. Clinicians must consult the XW- 100
Clinician's Quick Guide in this manual for additional information.
• All results interpretation must be made by the Clinician.
List of PLT Error Flags
Probable Sample Cause
Effects of cryoglobulins,
fragmented RBC or cellular
fragments of WBcs, electronic
noise.
Increase of large PLT, inclusion
of fragmented RBCs, precipitation
of cryoglobulins, PLT aggregation
or agglutination, presence of
micro-erythocytes, electronic
noise.
PLT aggregation, low PLT count
Inclusion of fragmented RBCs,
non-uniformity in PLT size,
effects of cryoglobulins.
Suggested
Action
•Retest the same
sample. If the
retest confirms
the flag, send the
sample to a
reference lab.
