SAMPLE ANALYSIS
MANUAL MATCHES
6
a. The instrument reports the sample as it is analyzed.
b. If the Sample ID is unknown it assigns an AUTO_SID number.
5. Even if Manual Match is OFF (disabled), the sample results are posted to the Match
screen if the positive ID is set to
Barcode (so a barcode Sample ID is expected) and the
instrument does not obtain a barcode reading from the specimen tube.
6. If you are using a Worklist, it is recommended that you enable the Manual Match option
to ensure samples are reported with all the information on the Worklist order.
7. If you are not using a Worklist, it is recommended that you disable Manual Match, as no
result will have a match and all will be posted to the Match screen.
8. The Manual Match option is enabled (or disabled) as part of the instrument setup.
a.
Manual Match OFF is the default setting.
b. The procedure for enabling this option,
Manual Match (Turning ON or Off), is under
Heading A.4 OPERATIONAL SETUP, in the Online Help System or the Instructions for
Use manual.
c. To view the current selection, from the Main menu click tt tt
General.
9. If the laboratory plans to use a Worklist with Manual Match ON, help the trainee locate
the
Manual Match Procedure under 9.3 MANUALLY MATCHING SAMPLE RESULTS WITH WORKLIST
ORDERS
in the Online Help System or the Instructions for Use manual.
a. Click tt to display the Match screen.
b. If the Match screen has sample results that need to be matched, have the trainee use
the procedure to make the matches.
c. If the Match screen is empty, either walk the trainee through the procedure or create
a situation that forces unmatched results and let the trainee match the results.
Note: When Manual Match is ON, you can easily create an unmatched situation by
running a specimen tube without first entering it on the Worklist. This creates a
scenario where the trainee must first add the specimen order to the Worklist and
then make the match.
10. After a sample’s results are manually matched:
a. If the order that the results are matched with has a flagging set different from the
one the sample was processed with, the results are recalculated using the order’s
flagging set and the results are marked with the Recalculated message.
b. The results are moved from the the Match screen to the Results List screen.
Note: Because reruns are requested from the Results List screen, results must be
matched before they can be rerun.
c. A Manual Match message (and a Recalculated message if applicable) is added under
the Miscellaneous Message category in the Flags and Messages area of the report.
d. The Run-in-Progress screen still displays Unmatched, but its printout is updated.
11. Give the trainee a copy of the
SAMPLE RESULTS MANUAL MATCHING SUMMARY, and review
the procedure.
