Use this procedure to define the reference and action ranges for each parameter.
The system uses reference ranges to determine if a result is outside of the expected
range. The system uses action ranges to determine if a result requires immediate
action. Each laboratory should establish its own reference and action ranges for the
evaluation of patient results. Table 5-7 lists the default values for reference and
action ranges for the base models and for the base models with a CO-ox module.
