Set reference ranges

Open a test and select Reference ranges. Each range applies to a sex and age band: Age bands for the same sex cannot overlap. For example, you can have Male 0 to 17 and Male 18 to 120, but not Male 0 to 20 and Male 18 to 120.
Add an Any range as a fallback, then add sex-specific ranges where the normal values differ.

Deactivate a test

Select Deactivate to stop a test from being ordered. Existing orders and results are kept.
