Description

Link an explicit reticulocyte count record to acquisition and method identifiers.

Hematology records connect source annotations, specimens, instrument/reagent lots, unit bases and control references. A reported dilution correction depends on whether it has already been applied, while percentage and fraction are different representations. Local quantities and source tokens do not validate a sample, result or blood-product release.

Link an explicit reticulocyte count record to acquisition and method identifiers.

When to use this tool

Use Reticulocyte Count Acquisition Event Tag when you already have countRecordId, acquisitionId, suppliedMethod and need to link an explicit reticulocyte count record to acquisition and method identifiers.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter countRecordId, acquisitionId, suppliedMethod. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read token. Use the output convention below.

Enter countRecordId, acquisitionId, suppliedMethod using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • The result records supplied values without interpreting hematology. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Inspect the original laboratory, QC and product-traceability records before combining results. Use the complete controlled method and reporting convention; one target deviation, volume balance or censoring label does not establish quality or clinical interpretation.
