Critical Range for Ordinal and Continuous Observations

2003-08-22
Definition: This field applies only to single tests/observations (i.e., a nature code of A or C, as described in OM1-18 - Nature of Service/Test/Observation) with numeric results. When a critical range is defined for such observations, it should be recorded here in the same format as the normal range (see OM2-6 - Reference (Normal) Range - Ordinal and Continuous Observations).
Note: This field is not backward compatible from v2.5. Prior to v2.5, the narrative conflicted with the component model. There was an ARB decision to bring the component model into conformity with the narrative.
