Reason/Issue |
There have been reports of results not being interpreted in the anti-AB well (ABO3) of ID-Cards intended for ABO forward grouping, the IH-Com software doesn't include the reaction of this well when sending the result to the laboratory Host (result code-30).
This can occur in the following situations; 1. IH-Com Software is connected to the laboratory Host through ASTM communication mode, and 2. an "ABO not interpretable" result is obtained due to a reaction "?" or "+-" or "dp" in the anti-AB well of the ID-card intended for ABO forward grouping, and 3. the "Second reading" option is deactivated and IH-Com results are directly sent to the Host, or 4. The "Second reading" option is activated by the the "not interpretable" result is obtained in IH-Com directly saved and sent to host without a manual selection by the user in ABO scrollbar. |
