4.2.3 Hematology Printouts (continued)
The example in Figure 4-5 shows test results printed
numerically and in bar graph form on the normal
range programmed as described in paragraph 4.2.1.
On all test result printouts, spaces are provided
for recording the patient’s name, date of birth, and
accession or ID number.
Note: In the pediatric test shown, because of a high
(or low) absolute count of one or both of the WBC
differentials, the printout will include the caution
statement at the bottom of Figure 4-5. The printout
in Figure 4-6 shows test values accompanied by a
short, or abbreviated, HDR report.
If the printer is not On Line when test results are
displayed, the automatic printing function is disabled.
In order to obtain a printout, perform the following:
• Activate the On Line switch on the printer; then
• Press the [NEXT] key on the analyzer.
A second copy of any printout can be obtained
by pressing the [NEXT] key while the test results
are still on display. Pressing [NEXT] also allows
the operator to
temporarily select a new printout
format (for example, to change from Short to Long
HDR). Printouts for succeeding tests will return
to the printing format originally programmed in
Section 2.4.4.
4.2.4 Assaying Additional Tubes
Results from a completed test will remain on display
until the QBC tube is removed from the carriage.
Upon removal of the tube, the instrument will return
to the start of the operational loop of the test mode,
i.e., CBC MODE.
Test results should therefore be
recorded manually or printed before removing
the tested QBC tube from the instrument.
Before a repeated or new test, always enter the
patient’s normal range.
