b. Default Panel
1) You can choose which test panel,
CBC or CBC/DIFF, is default.
2) The default test panel is run automatically unless the panel selection is changed
when the sample information is entered or received.
c. Worklist Match Options
1) A Worklist is used to assign a Sample ID, test panel, flagging set, and
demographic information if desired, to a sample.
2) The link between the information on the Worklist and the sample results is
referred to as the positive ID.
3) Using the internal bar-code reader, the instrument can use one of two
positive ID methods.
a) It can read a bar-code label on the specimen tube, identifying the sample
by the Sample ID encoded in the label. This is the recommended method.
b) It can read the bar-code label on the cassette, identifying the sample by the
cassette number and its position in the cassette. This method relies on the
Operator’s accuracy in placing the tube in the correct cassette and
position.
Note: Even if you use this method, if the specimen tube has a bar-code
label that label is read. It is just not used as the primary ID.
4) If you plan to use a Worklist, the Worklist Match Options allows you to select
which positive ID method,
Barcode or Cass./Position, to use as the primary ID.
a) If all or most of your specimen tubes have bar-code labels, select
Barcode.
b) If your specimen tubes do not have bar-code labels, select
Cass./Position.
