Best Pracces

For ease of use, Abbo Point of Care recommends these guidelines when using the Manage and

Assemble Proles Workspace.

• Prole and Category Naming - Name the Prole with the area where the i‑STAT Alinity instrument

will be used, for example: NICU, Emergency Department, Respiratory Care.

Name Categories by specifying their use for all areas or for specic areas, such as: Hospital-wide

General Sengs, ICU Operator Sengs, NICU Analyte Sengs, Emergency Department Quality

Sengs.

• Print the APOC Prole or all APOC Categories individually - prior to creang categories and proles.

Aer prinng, review and idenfy the desired changes to each Category by marking the changes on

the printout. Use the printout when creang the categories and assembling the prole.

• Print the Laboratory Reference and Acon (Crical) ranges - including units of measure for each

analyte that will be used on the i-STAT Alinity. This can minimize the me needed to build the Analyte

Sengs Unit and Range feature.

• Enable Age and Gender in Paent Sengs - if the Analyte Sengs Ranges are created with Age and

Gender applied. If eGFR is being used, this feature is required.

• If Liquid QC and/or Cal Ver Schedules are used - A list of the site's areas and the cartridges used in

each area can be helpful when creang the Quality Sengs Category.

• Contact the IT department or paent registraon - If using barcoded paent armbands or labels.

Ensure that the type of barcode on the armband or label is enabled in the Paent Sengs Category.

• Contact Human Resources or Employee Services - If using barcoded employee badges. Ensure that

the type of barcode on the badge is enabled in the Operator Sengs Category.

• Contact Laboratory Informaon System administrator - If using an accession/specimen ID entry. It

will be necessary to nd out which barcode type will be scanned and to determine where the

barcoded labels will be printed. Prinng funcons in the LIS may need to be changed in order for

accession number labels to be printed on the tesng oor.

Note: Selecons made in c

ategories and proles change screen content and

sequencing. Best pracce would be to evaluate all selecons made when building the

prole by:

￮ uploading the prole

￮ performing tesng in the paent and control pathways

￮ evaluang the outcome to ensure that results and behavior are as expected.
