Just yesterday I ran into this construct in looking at a dosing algorithm for pediatrics. Without the detail, the first time-related logic specified for the period of less than 7 days (<7 days. The next logic line specified >= 7 days. Without the >=, the logic would have been awkward at best.

Much to my dismay a quick grep over a couple hundred results idling in files on my machine doesn't yield a "<=" or ">=" offhand but I'm positive I've seen it before. When I come across one I'll post it to the list. Checking the lab data transmission specs confirms that the result can be a free-text field which easily allows for any of the discussed accuracy modifiers.
