7.5.3 Symbols on the Results Printout
The following table explains the symbols that may appear on the results printout.
Symbols printed next to the result (see
Symbol Meaning
* The result is outside the reference range.
< The result is lower than the dynamic range.
> The result is higher than the dynamic range.
H After an LD value, indicates that hemolysis might
affect the results.
< and H If < appears before and H after an LD result,
hemolysis is more extensive (100–150 mg/dL) and
the true LD value is less than reported.
C The result was calculated.
! Confirm Low Recoveries. This indicates at least
one analyte has a lower concentration than
normally expected.
N/C Not Calculated.

~~~ Chemistry interference
HEM Hemolysis interference
LIP Lipemia interference
ICT Icterus interference
The entire numerical line displayed on the error report, including the line HEM (H), LIP (L), and ICT

Notes
An asterisk (*) is printed next to the analyte
concentration if the results are outside the
range. An asterisk is also printed if the result
is at the upper or lower limit of the range, but
because results are rounded, these are
considered out-of-range as well. For
example:
Na+ 145* (128–145)
Cl- 98* (98–108)
For more information on results with < or >
printed before the value, print an error report
(see "Recalling Results" on page
report includes patient results, but the values
approximate the analyte concentration.
Re-run the sample. If the message recurs,
results may fit patient profile clinically, or the
sample may be problematic.
