App-derived interpretation
Flow cytometers, when used with specific tubes may experience excessive electronic abort counts (electronic abort count of beads exceeds 1.0% of the total processed events), which may affect the ratio of cell population events to bead events, potentially resulting in falsely high absolute counts. This may affect the following: initiation of prophylactic therapy for Opportunistic Infections (HIV patients), decisions regarding care/management (PID/immune suppressed patients), laboratory developed tests/experiments, specimen engraftment potency, and use of leucoreduced blood products for transfusion.
