Abbott i-STAT Alinity User Manual

Entry Type Determine how the data will be entered into the i‑STAT Alinity instrument. Select
one of the following:
Allow Scan and Manual Entry Allow barcode scan or manual data entry.
Scan Only Allow barcode scan data entry only.
Manual Entry Only Allow manual data entry only.
Minimum Length Enter the minimum data characters
allowed.
Maximum Length Enter the maximum data characters
allowed.
Scan Mask Barcode scanning seng that allows for the selecon of specic character posions
to be retained.
• The rst posion (the posion farthest to the le) is numbered posion "1".
• The scanmask eld will accept a text input consisng of numbers 1-9, commas
(','), and hyphens ('-') to idenfy the scanmask selecon.
• If, for example, the barcode reads "abcdefghi1234567890" and the selecon
paern is "2,5-8,11-14" then the barcode will be interpreted as "befgh2345". If
the selecon paern is "3-4", then the barcode will be "cd".
• Individual posion selecons that are separated by a comma such as
"2,4,7,8,19" cannot be duplicated.
• In each number range, the starng number must be smaller than the ending
number. For example, "3-5" is a valid range, but "5-3" is not.
• Selecon ranges cannot overlap. The end of each number range must be smaller
than the beginning of the next number range. For example, "3-6,7-9" is a valid
selecon, but "3-6,6-9" is not.
• Entering consecuve commas or hyphens is invalid. For example, "2--5",
"2-5,,7-10", and "2,-5" are all invalid ranges.
Manual Check Digit
Me
thod
If a facility uses a supported check digit algorithm when creang operator or
paent IDs, the i‑STAT Alinity can verify the entered ID format by calculang
the check digit and comparing it to the entered ID number. If the check digits
do not match, the ID is rejected.
Note: The i‑S
TAT Alinity System supports the Mod 10 and Mod 11
check digit algorithms described in the HL7 Table 0061 (Check Digit
Scheme) in the HL7 Specicaon (Rev 1.4). Contact your LIS/HIS or IT
departments to determine if your facility uses check digits in the
creaon of operator and/or paent ID numbers, and if so, which
algorithm is used.
Allowable values are:
No check digit on manual
entry
Do not use a check digit when creang
operator or paent IDs.
