BD BACTEC FX - 5.4.1 Affected Vials

5 – Reference
111
General Selection Criteria:
Different reports have different criteria for selecting the data to be reported (filtering) or for sorting
and/or organizing that data. If a specific criterion is not applicable to the selected report, the screen
indicates “Time Range/Sort By/Report By does not apply.”
The following criteria may be used (depending on the report):
Time Range
Enables you to select a starting and ending date for the report. This is a data filtering
parameter, meaning it allows you to restrict what information is reported.
Sort By
Enables you to select an alternate sort order (up to 2) for the report. The default sort order
is by Accession, then by Sequence. This parameter provides flexibility in organizing the
report data.
The instrument presents sorted information (with demographic sort criteria) in the following
groups: anonymous vials first, then orphan vials, then vials with sequence numbers/
accessions.
Report By
Enables you to select filters based on field contents for the information reported (such as
specific media types, hospital services, etc.). Only one report by criterion can be chosen
each time the report is printed.
5.4.1 Affected Vials
The Affected Vials Report lists vials that have experienced either a failure in the instrument’s
incubation subsystem, or an extended gap in test readings, within the last 30 days. These affected
vials are grouped into 2 report sections: Incubation Failures, and Reading Gap Failures. Both sections
always print when the report is requested. Anonymous vials are included only while they are in the
instrument. All sequenced vials are included in the report, even if they are removed. The report prints
in landscape mode. The report provides the following information:
Header: Selection/Sorting/Reporting Criteria, Hospital Information (if configured), Instrument
Number, Instrument Software Version, Report Title, type of failure that affected the vials
(Incubation Failure or Reading Gap Failure), and Date and Time Printed
Body of Report: (columns from left to right): Accession, Patient Name (30 characters), Patient ID,
Sequence, Test*/Protocol, Status*, State (column not labeled, body of report shows: ? for
anonymous, vial icon for current, or blank for removed/pending), Service, Location, TIP/TTD (Time
in Protocol for negatives and manual positives, Time To Detection for positives), “was Positive”
indicator (plus sign [+] at end of line indicates that a vial that is not currently Positive previously had
a positive result)
* see Section 11 for reported values
