Appendix J:
Gross.Examination,.Specific.Gravity,.and.Dilution.Fields
On the VETSCAN SA, users can use drop-down option lists to select the Collection Method,
Color, and Clarity of each sample for the medical record. Pre-set options included in these
lists are:
Collection Method

Users can also input a Specific Gravity of each sample for the medical record.
Specific Gravity
1.xxx
1.000 minimum
1.199 maximum
Also, the SA allows the user to dilute the sample with normal saline and will automatically
calculate results based on the dilution selected. The SA defaults to "Undiluted" but gives users
3 additional selection options. All sample should initially be analyzed as native or undiluted prior
to performing dilutions 1

• For a 1:2 dilution, add 1 part sample to 1 parts saline. (ex: 0.4 mL, 0.4 mL)
• For a 1:4 dilution, add 1 part sample to 3 parts saline. (ex: 0.2 mL, 0.6 mL)
• For a 1:8 dilution, add 1 part sample to 7 parts saline. (ex: 0.1 mL, 0.7 mL)
