[Practical aspects of the routine hospital use of the Hemalog D (author's transl)]

Five months experience with the Hemalog D has enabled the authors to define the mode of integration of the apparatus into a central hematology laboratory of a hospital without a clinical hematology department. The incidence and importance of such factors as the alarms set off by the apparatus, the time-course of blood basophils in patients receiving heparin and the clinical picture in patients for whom the apparatus revealed a peroxidase deficiency are discussed.
