For...
For occupational exposure to lead, OSHA requires ZPP whole blood concentration to be reported in units of ug/dL. For adults, conversion of ZPP to units of ug/dL assumes a hematocrit of 45%

This test was performed on the ProtoFluor Z system manufactured by Helena Laboratories. The result is not comparable to results obtained from extraction-based methods or from the AVIV ZPP system

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.
