🗑
How many drops of blood are required to run an automated test with modern equipment?   Ten drops  
🗑
Automated instruments offer greater __ and precision.   accuracy  
🗑
If blood cells stick together as they pass through the aperture of an automated instrument, the result will be a falsely __ cell count.   decreased  
🗑
One way to correct bad cell counts on automated machines is to __ the blood sample.   dilute  
🗑
If results of a blood cell count has dire consequences for the patient, you must call the patient's __.   doctor  
🗑
The majority of labs in the area use __ brand cell counters.   Coulter  
🗑
Coulter cell counters work on the principle of __ impedance.   electrical  
🗑
On a Coulter machine, the amplitude (or height) of each pulse is proportional to cell __.   size  
🗑
Coulter machines use VCS technology, allowing them to measure __, __, and __ __.   volume, conductivity, light scatter

Coulter machines can report a false increase in HGB if WBCs in the sample are __.   elevated  
🗑
Coulter machines can report a false increase in HGB if lipids in the sample are __.   elevated  
🗑
Coulter machines can report a falsely increased MCV and RBC count is the sample has cold __.   agglutination  
🗑
Coulter machines can report a falsely increased MCV count if the blood sample has __.   rouleaux  
🗑
The letter "R" beside a result means the lab technician should __ the machine's results.   review
