4.3.3 Reference Ranges Setup

With this menu you can set the reference range for each measured parameter. There are three

options: Reference Range 1, Reference Range 2, and Reference Range 3. The default is

Reference Range 1. A result that is out of the reference range will be flagged with an up/down

arrow. Reference ranges are factory set to be the measurement ranges for each measured

parameter. Values outside reference ranges are not flagged with an up/down arrow. Therefore

reference ranges must be set according to internal procedures at your individual institution.

Because reference ranges may vary with demographic factors such as age, gender and heritage, it

is recommended that reference ranges be set according to the population being tested.

Follow the instructions below to set the reference ranges:

1. Press to access the Reference Ranges Setup screen.

Figure 4-14 Reference Ranges Setup Screen

2. Select the desired reference range, and edit the limits for those parameters you want to

change.

3. Press OK to accept the changes, and the system will return to the Test Setup screen.

NOTE:

 If unacceptable values are entered, the system will display the correct range.

 The limits entered will be saved in the system even after the system is shut down.
