LAB DAY ACTIVITY
Introduction
The purpose of this exercise is to simulate a typical day in the laboratory.
This involves completing common activities such as performing START
UP and Daily Checks, ordering tests, and ordering controls. You are
responsible for organizing workflow, evaluating QC values, and
obtaining results for routine and STAT samples. These realistic
challenges allow you to integrate the information you have learned.
As with any typical day in the laboratory, not everything will go as
expected. Controls may be out of range, and you may have to rerun
samples. Fortunately, the skills and knowledge you learned in earlier
Modules will allow you to overcome these challenges successfully.
Objective
Upon completion of the Lab Day Activity, you will be familiar with:
• Performing a basic run
• Ordering a calibration
• Ordering quality control
• Rerunning results
• Selecting rerun results
• Validating results
• Printing results
Necessary Materials
Reagents:
• ICT™ Sample Diluent, Albumin, ALT, AST, Calcium, Creatinine,
Glucose, Phosphorus, Total Protein, Urea, and Iron.
Other:
• Patient samples, Multiconstituent Calibrators, and QC material
• Instructor will need to change
query mode to sample bar
codes, clear database, and
cycle power. Ensure host
simulators are properly
configured and functioning.
• Will need bar coded tube sets
from refrigerator and labeled
tubes for 4 non-bar coded
samples.
