Materials Required but not Provided

For the ADVIA 2120/2120i Hematology System, the other materials required to
perform the ADVIA 2120/2120i CBC method are the various control materials,
calibrators, ADVIA OPTIpoint, and other reagents or equipment specified in the
"Methods Introduction" section.

Procedure

To run samples on your ADVIA 2120/2120i Hematology System, refer to the
Daily Routine.

Quality Control

It is recommended that the system be controlled using ADVIA TESTpoint
Hematology Controls. Please refer to page 5 for product descriptions. These
controls are intended to be integrated into a clinical laboratory's own quality
control program and procedures.
Control materials should be assayed:
•
At the beginning of each shift or at some other interval chosen by the
laboratory.
•
After a reagent lot number change.
•
After replacement of any part or component of the analytical module that
may affect analytical performance.
As an option, laboratories may run a retained patient sample periodically to
monitor performance trends.

Results

The ADVIA 2120/2120i Hematology System automatically performs all
calculations necessary for obtaining final results.
Through the use of flagging algorithms, laboratory personnel are alerted to
suspected abnormal conditions. These conditions are indicated by the appropriate
flag (such as *, +, and/or color highlighting). Whenever a flag is triggered, the
user should review the results and take appropriate action.
