Interferences - Limitations
The numbers in the System Evaluation report are reported in a different way than in the past.
Substances were tested at concentrations described by the Clinical Lab Standard Institute in document EP7-A2—Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry; Approved Guideline, when available. Testing was conducted according to the ISO 15197:2013 standard. This is a standard used in labs. The way these concentrations are displayed will be changing, as reflected in this report. Concentrations are shown in exponential notation, in order to display values in a uniform manner across the wide range of concentrations.
To convert these values:
>Positive Exponent: Move the decimal point to the right by the number of places specified by the exponent (number after E). Acarbose Highest Concentration Tested: 6.00E+01 6.00 x 10 = 60 mg/dL
>Negative Exponent: Move the decimal point to the left by the number of places specified by the exponent (number after E). Acarbose Upper Therapeutic Concentration: 1.00E–02 1.00 / 100 = 0.01 mg/dL
>00 Exponent: Use the stated value with no adjustment. Acetaminophen Upper Therapeutic Concentration: 5.20E+00 = 5.20 mg/dL
