Possible worklist conditions, their descriptions, and helpful notes for use are described in Table
3.1.
Table 3.1 Worklist Conditions
Control Bracketing
Control bracketing is a process that allows worklist results to be released in smaller subsets.
With control bracketing, PROCLEIX
®
TIGRIS Controls are placed at a configured interval, as
well as at the end of the worklist. The set of specimens between sets of PROCLEIX TIGRIS
Controls (or, for the first bracket, between the calibrators and the first set of PROCLEIX TIGRIS
Controls) are considered a “control bracket.”
Figure 3.2 Control Bracket
The default bracket size is 172 specimens, but this can be changed to any value between 1
and 492 for a single analyte assay or between 1 and 487 for a triple analyte assay.
If other criteria described in the appropriate assay package insert are met, such as calibrators
being valid, the validity of specimens is evaluated by brackets. Results for in-process worklists

Condition
Description Notes
Stored
A created worklist that has not been
placed in the queue for processing.
♦ Can be modified.
♦ Can be deleted.
♦ De-queued worklists return to
“stored” state.
Queued
A worklist that has been selected for
processing in the next run.
♦ Can be de-queued and returned to
a “stored” state.
In-process
A worklist that is currently being
pipetted.
♦ Cannot be de-queued.
♦ Can be aborted.
Completed
A worklist that has finished processing;
results have been reported.
♦ Can be verified.
♦ Results can be transmitted to LIS.
Stopped
A worklist that was “in-process” and
cancelled due to instrument error or
user action.
♦ Worklist samples that did not
complete processing and do not
have results must be re-run.
Invalid
A completed worklist that has
calibrators that failed run validity
criteria.
♦ All samples must be re-run.
