Nr. c111 Comment c111 Check
5 High Abs
Excessive Absorbance
Description
The absorbance value to be used for calculation and checks is > 2.0 Abs.
6 Ag Excess
Prozone Error
Description
The sample contains an excess antigen and a valid result cannot be calculated.
9 Ep Unstab
Reaction limit over
Description
The absorbance values near the endpoint show unacceptable fluctuation.
11
Non Linear
<Kin Read
Linearity abnormal
Description
The first and last parts of the reaction curve have different slopes.
Not enough kinetic readings.
Insufficient absorbance readings were found in the linear part of the reaction to be able to
calculate a rate.
Not enough readings in kinetic range for calc mode Kinetic
26 >Test Rng
PANIC value over (upper) Technical Limit
Description
Value over the technical limit. The result is higher than the upper limit for the test.
27 <Test Rng
PANIC value over (lower) Technical Limit
Description
Value under the technical limit. The result is lower than the lowest limit for the test.
40 >RR
Outside of expected value (upper)
Description
For patient samples, the calculated concentration is greater than the upper limit of the
expected value range.
nnnnn is the actual value which was checked against
