Data Management
The Data Management function uses specific filtering rules set up by the
laboratory. When microscopy and/or chemistry results become available,
the filtering rules are applied. Any result matching a rule can be used to
signal for review by the operator.
The Data Management applies the rules on each sample at the end of
each run and takes appropriate action:
• Set a Validation flag and prevent auto-release
• Output additional data to LIS
• Signal the operator in the Information pane during sample review
to review the sample
• Utilize reporting tags for screen and printer based reports
This function allows the user:
• To create, edit, and save logic statements for filtering results
based upon multiple Urine Chemistry parameters, multiple
Microscopy parameters, and patient demographics (gender, age,
location).
• To apply to each parameter, a user-defined value and a logic sign.
• To recreate pre-populated logic statements.
• To display results on-screen and generate printable work lists
based on logic statements.
• To easily activate / disable every saved logic statement without
deleting.
The Data Management function has three components:
1. Rule Generator
2. Results/Rules Tagging
3. Report Generator
