6.2 Glossary
Batch
A batch is a group of samples measured continuously. In an actual operation, a batch means any number of samples
measured after the button has been pressed and until the standby screen appears again.
Measurement number
A measurement number is a 4-digit code (0000 to 9999) that identifies each measurement result. Measurement
numbers are automatically increased by one and assigned to samples in the order of measurements, and displayed and
printed along with results. Measurement numbers are indicated differently according to the type of measurement (see
the table below). Measurement numbers can be assigned not only to samples but to ports as well (see “3.5.2.
Configuring the Measurement Numbering Method” on page 3-14).
Measurement start number
The measurement start number is assigned to the first sample (or port) in a batch of normal or control measurements.
At the time of shipment, the instrument is set so that it is always powered up with the measurement start number
“0001”. The measurement start number of the next batch is the next number after the last number in the previous batch.
The measurement start number can be set to continue from the previous batch even after the power has been turned off
and back on, or it can be reset to “0001” for each new batch (see “3.5.2. Configuring the Measurement Numbering
Method” on page 3-14). You can also set any measurement start number using the numeric buttons before starting
measurement.
Sample ID
A sample ID is a text string that identifies the patient from whom the sample was collected. It consists of up to 18 digits
of numbers, letters and symbols. When using the internal barcode reader or optional hand-held barcode reader, sample
IDs can be read from the barcode on the sample tubes during measurements, and displayed, printed and sent to external
devices along with measurement results.
