Selecting HbF This option disables HbF correction for all levels, or enables it for all levels or for
correction HbF levels higher than 20 % (HbF correction will be automatically disabled if
FCOHb < −0.5 % in order to decrease a false HbF detection on adult blood
option
samples and to ensure non-biased oximetry results).
The guidelines for selecting/deselecting HbF correction are as follows:
For neonatal samples: Use "Enabled for all levels".
For adult samples:
NOTICE: When an adult sample is measured with HbF correction "Enabled for all
levels" or "Enabled for levels > 20 %", it will slightly affect measurement of sO
FO
samples reported with HbF present.
If this is not acceptable, the HbF correction for adult samples can be turned off
before a measurement – see Selecting HbF Correction in the Analysis Setup in this
chapter.
To select the desired option, use the arrow buttons in the box.
