2.5.3 Defining sorting racks
The system allows you to setup a very flexible arrangement of the sorting area in both the
input and output sorters. The number and size of the drawers are very configurable to the
customer requirements on-site. Likewise, the number, size and position of the racks in the
drawers are configurable on-site. All assignment data and rules for the sorting area are
programmed.
The sorting racks in the output sorter are the sorting targets for the system. The processing
steps for the various sample types and the various tubes are already defined.
The sorting targets for the various sample types and the various tubes are also already
defined.
Sorting targets are not only defined based on the test requirements from the lab host
computer. They can also be defined for cases when there is an error with the sample
processing, when the sample information (cap or barcode) is not recognized, when there are
multiple identical tubes in the system, or when the tube should be archived.
For these cases, sorting racks can be defined as error racks (also for recursive tubes) or
archive racks. Multiple error racks can be defined where tubes with different defined error
types (for example, barcode reading errors) are sorted out.
Thus, a highly differentiated sorting scheme can be implemented in the sorting area.
2.5.4 Processing open sample tubes
The system is also capable of processing open primary sample tubes, when these are to be
processed from the sorting area and then put back to the input sorter.
Open tubes can also be defined in the system as a tube type. In this case the dimensions of
the tube would be used for tube recognition.
NOTICE
If open tubes are defined in your customer configuration as a tube type, then only open tubes
should be processed in the system. If you are unsure which open tubes can be processed by your
system, consult with your laboratory administrator or service technician.
