Option Description
Alphanumeric
Sample ID
Allows the Operator to configure for numeric or
alphanumeric Sample ID. The default setting is ON.
• When set to OFF, the Sample ID is numeric only and
increments automatically on the ORDER
SAMPLES screen. In addition, the leading empty
spaces are filled by zeros to complete the configured
ID character field (configured in the Bar Code
Length-Skip-ID field).
• When set to ON, the Sample ID is alphanumeric,
does not auto-increment and does not fill in empty
spaces with zeros.
Bar Code
Length-Skip-ID
The bar code length can range from 4 to 20 characters.
Allows configuration of:
• Bar code length = total length of the bar code
• Skip = number of characters to skip at the beginning
of the bar code (bar code information that is not part
of the sample ID)
• ID = number of characters allowed in the sample ID.
The default setting is 20-0-20, which indicates up to
20 characters are in the total length of the bar code
and all are part of the sample ID.
• To edit the Bar Code Length-Skip-ID field, the ID
must be edited first. This allows the Skip and Bar
Code Length fields to be edited.
NOTE: The smallest number which can be
configured in the Bar Code Length and ID fields
is 6.
Example: If 8-1-7 is entered, the total length of the bar
code is 8 characters, the first character is skipped
because it is not part of the Sample ID, and the length of
the Sample ID is 7 characters.
Auto Order
Calculations
When selected, the System automatically performs
calculations configured when the constituent assays are
ordered. The default setting is ON.
Auto Validate When selected, the System automatically validates
patient results in the database if no Result Error Codes
were generated. If a sample has a processing code of “I”
(Incomplete) due to an error or rerun, the Operator must
review and validate the results. The default setting is
OFF.
Bar Code Length-Skip-ID:
• Minimum bar code length=6,
if alphanumeric sample ID is
not ON. With it on, limit is 4.
• Won’t skip middle or end
characters.
• 20-0-20 cover many bar codes.
• Doesn’t have to be defined in
order to run bar coded
samples.
• Only need if you want to
confirm characters when fixed
digits is defined.
• Will define the number of
leading zeros in a numeric bar
code.
