4. The laboratory chooses which positive ID, Barcode or Cass./Position, to use and the
instrument is set up for that at installation.
a. The default setting is
Barcode.
b. The procedure for selecting the positive ID,
Worklist Match and Manual Match Options, is
under
Heading A.4 OPERATIONAL SETUP, in the Online Help System or the Instructions
for Use manual.
c. To view the positive ID setting, from the Main menu click tt tt
General.
5. A Worklist is a list of work to be done on the instrument.
a. A Worklist provides two functions that may be important to your laboratory.
1) It provides a way to enter patient demographics, such as patient ID, name,
gender, date of birth, age, physician’s name, clinic location, and comments, so
that this information can be linked with the final results.
2) It allows you to choose the test panel and flagging set for each specimen.
b. Host transmission protocol can be established so that demographics are
automatically downloaded from the Host computer to the Worklist.
c. Identifiers and demographic information must be entered before running the
patient specimen.
d. After the specimen is processed, all entered information is printed on the final
report, stored in the archive, and transmitted to a host computer, if applicable.
6. The positive ID is the link between the sample results and information on the Worklist.
a. If the instrument cannot read the barcode on a tube, or if the instrument cannot find
a Sample ID for results on the Worklist, it cannot match (link) the information.
b. A Manual Match option allows the Operator to make the match when the
instrument cannot.
1) If the Manual Match option is ON, the unmatched results are placed on the
Match screen instead of the Results List screen.
2) If the Manual Match option is OFF, the results are reported as analyzed.
3) The Manual Match option is covered under Heading 6.9, MANUAL MATCHES,
in this section of the Training guide.
7. If using a Worklist, this is the workflow scenario:
a. An order is placed on the Worklist (by manual entry or by Host download).
b. The order appears on the Worklist.
c. The sample is analyzed for that order in the Autoloader mode or the Manual mode.
d. The sample results are matched to the information on the Worklist and posted to
the Results List screen for verification.
e. If the results cannot be matched and the Manual Match option is ON, the results are
posted to the Match screen for Operator intervention.
f. The order is removed from the Worklist once results are matched to a Sample ID.
g. The results are archived at the start of a New Workday or when the Operator
chooses to move them from the Results List screen to the archives.
h. Archived results can be located by Patient ID or run date. Searching for archived
results is coverd under Heading 7.1, DATA MANAGEMENT, in this Training Guide.
