Which automatic hematology analyzer performs the white count (by both optical scatter and electrical impedance) and then compares the two as an internal quality control check?
 
  a. Sysmex 9000/9500
  b. Coulter LH750
  c. CELL-DYN 4000
  d. Advia 2100

Question 2

An automated hematology analyzer is used to evaluate a blood specimen. Which of the following, coming off the instrument, would require performance of a manual white cell differential as opposed to blood film review?
 
  a. Flagged data
  b. Suppression of automated differential data
  c. Abnormal red cell indices
  d. A slightly elevated platelet count

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The CELL-DYN 4000 performs the white count using optical scatter (WOC) and electrical impedance (WIC). Software compares the two as an internal quality control check. When the WOC and the WIC differ, an algorithm selects the most appropriate value for the reported white cell count. Newborn samples, which contain a high concentration of fetal hemoglobin, are an example of when a discrepancy might exist between the two. The soft lysing agent used in the WOC channel is unable to completely lyse the red cells, raising the WOC count compared with the WIC.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
When internal instrument checks fail or cast doubt on the data, the automated differential data are suppressed. This means that a manual differential should be performed. Flagged data may be released after appropriate blood film review, as dictated by the specific laboratory policy.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
