    WWorseThe current result or observation value has degraded compared to the previous result or observation value (the change is significant as defined in the respective test procedure).

    <Off scale lowThe result is below the minimum detection limit (the test procedure or equipment is the limiting factor).

    Synonyms: Below analytical limit, low off scale.
    >Off scale highThe result is above the maximum quantifiable limit (the test procedure or equipment is the limiting factor).

    Synonyms: Above analytical limit, high off scale.

    \[Note: Typically applies to non-numeric results.\]
    AACritical abnormalThe result or observation value is outside a reference range or expected norm at a level at which immediate action should be considered for patient safety (as defined for the respective test procedure).
