Error Code – Definitions
Antigen Excess — A chemistry failed antigen excess test for immunoprotein reagents. This flag may
indicate a contaminated cartridge.
Bad K/NA Value — K or NA are required to calculate a CALC result. Should one or the other fail or have an
error, CALC cannot be calculated and this error is reported. Check your K and NA values for any error
conditions.
K is required to calculate a urine NA result. If K value has an error, urine NA cannot be calculated.
Blank Absorbance High/Low — The mean absorbance measured during the reagent blank spin cycle
(read window) exceeds expected limits. The units are measured in absorbance and will characterize
reagent quality. This flag may indicate an issue with the reagent cartridge, reaction cuvette cleanliness or
sample integrity if chemistry is sample blanked.
Blank Noise (Mean Deviation) — The average difference between the absorbance readings and the line
of regression is greater than allowed. This is a check for a constant rate during the blank spin cycle. The
flag may indicate possible issues with a photometer reading.
Blank Outlier (Maximum Deviation) — A single blank absorbance data point obtained during the reagent
blank read window deviates more than allowed from the line of regression. The units are measured in
delta absorbance. Blank Maximum Deviation is a check for a constant rate during the blank spin cycles.
This flag may indicate possible issues with a photometer reading.
Blank Rate High/Low — Rate measured during blank timing period is not within specifications. Units are
measured in delta absorbance/minute. This flag may indicate an issue with reagent contamination,
reaction cuvette cleanliness or sample integrity.
