A Objectives
When you have completed this topic, you will be able to:
B Locate the procedure for rerunning samples in the Online Help System or the
Instructions for Use manual.
B References
In the Online Help System or the Instructions for Use manual, refer to:
r Heading 8.6 RE-RUNNING SAMPLES
r Defining Automatic Rerun Criteria (By Flags and/or by Parameters) under
Heading A.7 AUTO-FUNCTIONS SETUP.
C Special Instructions
1. The instrument must be powered up.
2. Either a Supervisor or Service must be logged in to view Setup options, but this is
optional and is not required for covering the essential information in this topic.
D Topic Notes and Tasks
1. Two methods are available for rerunning specimens: automatic and manual.
2. The automatic rerun is initiated by the instrument based on criteria chosen by the
laboratory as part of the instrument setup.
a. Selecting the criteria for doing an automatic rerun is covered under Heading 3.3,
AUTO FUNCTIONS SETUP OPTIONS, in this Training Guide.
b. To determine if the instrument is setup to mark specimens for rerun, from the Main
Menu click tt tt
Rerun tab.
3. The manual rerun is initiated by the Operator from the Results screen.
a. Help the trainee find the procedure,
Manual Reruns, under Heading 8.6 RE-RUNNING
SAMPLES
, in the Online Help System or the Instructions for Use manual.
b. Have the trainee rerun a specimen or walk them through the procedure.
4. For both the automatic and the manual methods of initiating a rerun, the instrument
automatically puts an order on the Worklist for that Sample ID.
Note: The exception to this is if you use
Cass./Position as the primary identifier and the
sample was assigned an AUTO_SID. In that case, to rerun the specimen you must
manually re-enter the specimen on the Worklist.
5. To make sure you can distinguish between the results from the first run and the rerun:
a. On the Results screen, the Results field displays 1 / 2 (one of two) for the first
sample run and 2 / 2 (two of two) for the rerun.
b. On the printout of the rerun,
Yes appears next to Rerun on the report.
