If Patient ID is enabled, press the Tab key to move to “Pt ID Lth:” prompt. The
patient identification length can be any combination of letters and/or numbers up
to 11 characters. Enter the number of characters in the institution’s patient
identification. For example, if a sample patient identification is “325679”, the
number “6” should be entered to designate a Patient ID length of six characters.
NOTE: After the patient identification length is defined in the system, only a Patient
ID with the correct number of characters will be accepted
in order to start an assay.
At the start of the assay, a series of “?” will represent the established patient ID
length. For example, if the ID length is set to 6 characters and the patient ID is five
characters, then a leading zero (0) must be entered. A “?” is not a valid input and
all “?” must be replaced by alpha-numeric characters. If a different number of digits
is entered the will display. The assay cannot proceed until the correct number
of digits is entered.
