Linearity:
20 mg/dL
Expected Values:
Direct: Up to 0.5 mg/dL
Total: Up to 1.0 mg/dL
It is strongly suggested that each laboratory establish its own range of expected values.
Reagent Deterioration:
The reagent should be discarded if: (1) Sodium Nitrite reagent has a yellow discoloration;
(2) Reagent fails to achieve assigned assay values of fresh control sera.
