Indonesian hematology analyzer that can't hit anything

A paper from Surabaya, Indonesia assessed the performance of an anonymous hematology analyzer. The study used the old CLIA 1992 goals. We updated it with an assessment using CLIA 2025 goals. And then it became clear why this instrument was not named. None of this performance would meet CLIA's standards. Is performance so bad in this analyzer, or are the CLIA goals just too strict?
