CALIPER App for Android

11 things about CALIPER App

1. It is a user friendly and easy tool to assess a child’s laboratory test results using the latest reference value database developed based on values in healthy children and adolescents.

2. The reference intervals included in this application were determined as part of the Canadian Laboratory Initiative for Pediatric Reference Intervals (CALIPER) at the Hospital for Sick Children, an ongoing nation-wide study of normal values in paediatric lab results.

3. Quickly and easily compare individual laboratory test results to a database of normal values (reference intervals) covering more than 100 tests routinely performed to assess children with various medical concerns.

4. Reference intervals represent the range of values that healthy, normal individuals are expected to display for various laboratory tests.

5. All reference intervals reported here were developed using the most up-to-date laboratory testing equipment available from Abbott Diagnostics.

6. When a patient’s results fall outside of this expected range, this alerts physicians and laboratory professionals to the need for follow-up testing and can signal that changes to treatment or monitoring are required.

7. An output will display how these results relate to CALIPER reference database, allowing for efficient and easy comparison.

8. The CALIPER database has been validated and published in international medical journals and accepted worldwide as the most up to date reference resource available anywhere.

9. CALIPER provides reference intervals that reflect the influence of the rapid developmental and hormonal changes occurring during childhood.
