REPORTABLE RANGES
The default reportable range for each analyte can be found in Appendix B,
Table B-8. Due to regulatory requirements, some facilities may want to
specify more narrow reportable ranges for certain analytes. QA Users can
establish a custom reportable range consisting of an upper and lower limit for
each analyte.
Note:
• Changing reportable ranges may affect stored records. Stored results
should be uploaded to idms before reportable ranges are changed.
• An error message will appear upon entry of a reportable range that
conflicts with established QC limits or reference ranges (e.g., a QC or
reference range limits cannot be outside a reportable range limit).
