Reason

Siemens has confirmed that the affected devices will report results calculated using the ratio parameters feature without error flags when underlying individual test results used as part of the calculation are flagged. In cases where an error flag suppresses a numerical result, a ratio calculation will not be performed. If a numerical result is generated with a flag, the ratio will be reported without a flag.
