A-2.1TEST RESULTS
A-2.1.1 Digit-Decimal Format
Test values generated by the QBC Autoread Plus
analyzer are displayed in the following units and
decimal formats:
•Hematocrit,% XX.X
•Hemoglobin,g/dL XX.X
•MCHC*,g/dL XX.X
•PlateletCount(PLT),10

•WhiteCellCount(WBC),10

•GRANS(abs.),10

/L XX.X
•GRANS(rel.),% XX
•LYMPH/MONO(abs.),10

•LYMPH/MONO(rel.),% XX
* Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration.
MCHC in grams per deciliter of red cells (g/dL)
isequaltoMCHCpercent(%).
To convert hemoglobin to millimoles per liter,
multiply the value in g/dL by 0.6206 to obtain
hemoglobin in mmol/L.
When testing whole blood, irregularities detected in
length measurement or computed values will cause
the analyzer to display an error flag; in certain cases
the test may be aborted and no results or only
partial results will be displayed.
A-2.1.2 Operating Ranges
The blood parameters measured by the QBC
Autoread Plus analyzer have been validated over
the following range of values for QBC standard
tubes:
If the specimen yields test values outside
these ranges, confirmation by other methods is
recommended. On the display of the analyzer, test
results falling outside the above ranges will flash
off and on.
