Using Test Results

The results calculated by the analyzer are stored in memory and printed automatically, and can be
recalled and printed later as needed. If the analyzer is connected to an external computer, the results are
automatically transmitted as soon as they are calculated. See
the basic procedure and equations used to calculate analyte concentrations.
The figure at the right shows a typical results printout. The heading
includes information such as the test date and time, sample type, patient
identification number, reagent rotor type, rotor lot number, operator identi-
fication number, and analyzer serial number. The test results section is
printed in multiple columns, including chemistry name, analyte concentra-
tion, and reference range in specified units, as shown at right.
Each rotor contains reagents to detect exposure to extreme conditions such
as temperature and humidity. The message
when results from these reagents are within the expected ranges. Other-
wise, no results are printed, and the analyzer opens the rotor drawer.
Results outside the reference range are indicated in by an

asterisk (
Results outside the dynamic range and system range are

indicated by a "less than" symbol (
value of the dynamic or system range, or a "greater than"
symbol (
centrations outside Glucose dynamic range are printed as
tively, and concentrations outside Glucose system range are printed as
respectively.)
