What machines have you named in your lab?

For lab week, we voted on names for the XNs, SP50, and cellavision… we had several choices of themes: Star Trek, Star Wars, lord of the rings, Simpsons, and a few other choices… and we chose Teletubbies… 😔

We also have 2 CS2500 named Carl Sagan and Madam Curie.

We started using the UF 5000 roughly a year ago. Since then radiographic dye has been causing flags of “abnormally high RBCs” in clear urine. SG is noted as >1.099. On the Atago, the SG is coming up as HHH and for the clinitek dip stick I am getting 1.010. How are other labs reporting SG? Is the radiographic dye more likely to be messing with the chem reaction of the dip stick or the optical sensor of the UF and Atago?

So my question is are any of these SG results reportable?

Thank you for the help! My specialty is blood bank so I am a little out of my element in Heme.
