Flags Of Analysis Results - scil Element HT5+ User Manual

6.2.10 Flags of analysis results

The analyzer provides two types of flags for analysis results: parameter flags (1) and flags for
abnormal blood cell differential or morphology (2).
1. The analyzer provides the following parameter flags:
a. If the parameter is followed by an H or L, it means the analysis result has
exceeded the upper or lower limit of the reference range. See Section 9.2.4
Parameter Setup.
b. If the parameter is followed by an "R", it means the analysis result is
questionable.
c. If you see ****, as opposed to the result, it means the result is invalid; if you see
++++ as opposed to the result, it means the result is out of the display range.
NOTE:
The results of a background check will not be flagged for abnormal parameters, abnormal
blood cell differential or morphology.
2. The analyzer reports the flags for the following abnormal blood cell differential or
morphology.
