As we transition between Chemistry platforms, you may receive reports with different reference intervals quoted for the same test (even if on the same patient). We would like to reassure you that the reference intervals that appear on the patient report and any flagging throughout the report are appropriate for the technology used in the quantitation of each analyte and should be referred to in your interpretation of results.

Cumulative reports will reflect the appropriate reference interval based on the methodology used to quantitate the analyte. If the reference interval has changed, the test result will appear on a separate line on the cumulative report.

The appearance of a “banner” at the top of a patient report indicates that the analysis was completed using the new technology. A list of the analytes that have required reference interval changes is included in the banner message.

The delivery of reports with different reference intervals on Chemistry test results is temporary and will end once we have completed our transition to the new platform.

We apologize for the delay in service to you and your patients and for any inconvenience caused by the delivery of different reference intervals. We will update you once we have fully transitioned to the new platform.
