12. In the Data Log, the X-B flag "r" refers to RBC, flag "w" refers to WBC, and
flag "b" means the specimen has been included in both the RBC and WBC
batches.
13. When a batch is complete, the X-B flags in the Data Log are deleted from
those specimens comprising the completed batch.
14. If a combination of "r" plus "b" or "w" plus "b" specimens becomes equal to
20, the "r" or "w" batch is completed, and the "r" or "w" flags for those
specimens are deleted. The "b" flag changes to either "r" or "w", depending
on which batch remains.
15. If any specimen in a current batch is rejected, the operator has the option of
accepting the rejected specimen back into the X-B program. A rejected
specimen has an "R" following the Specimen ID number in the Data Log.
16. For a current batch containing n specimens, the operator may reject up to n-
1 specimens and still have the ability to re-accept any or all rejected
specimens back into the current batch. However, if all n specimens are
rejected, none of the rejected specimens can be re-accepted. The next
specimen run into an X-B program becomes the first of a new batch of 20.
17. Each RBC batch has three means: one each for MCV, MCH, and MCHC.
These means are updated whenever a new specimen is added to, or removed
from, a batch.
18. Each WBC batch has 7 means: one each for LYM OD, LYM 10D, NEU 0D,
NEU 10D, NEU 90D, NEU 90DEP, and NEU-EO. These means are updated
whenever a new specimen is added to, or removed from, a batch.
19. If the current batch has 1 or more batch means outside the target value/action
limits specified in the X-B Setup Menu, the message "X-BRBC: X/OUT" or
"X-BWBC: X/OUT" is displayed where the X in X/OUT is the number of
specimens in the current batch.
20. If the current X-B RBC batch and at least one previous X-B RBC batch are
outside the target value/action limits specified in the X-B Setup Menu, the
message "X-BRBC: X/OUT2" is displayed where the X in X/OUT is the
number of specimens in the current batch.
21. If the current X-B WBC batch and at least one previous X-B WBC batch are
outside the target value/action limits specified in the X-B Setup Menu, the
message "X-BWBC: X/OUT2" is displayed where X is the number of
specimens in the current batch.
22. If any value (Upper/Lower Limits, Target Value, or Action Limit) for RBC is
changed in the X-B Set Up menu, all specimens in the current X-B RBC
batch are deleted.
23. If any value (Upper/Lower Limits, Target Value, or Action Limit) for WBC
is changed in the X-B Set Up menu, all specimens in the current X-B WBC
batch are deleted.
