Creating Custom User-Defined Controls

In addition to the PROCLEIX
controls. These custom controls do not replace the PROCLEIX TIGRIS Controls and do not
affect sample test results or control bracketing.
Define the custom controls through the Configuration tab on the Configuration screen:
1. Click Define User Controls....
A Define User Controls window opens.
2. In the Prefix field, type the barcode prefix for each control.
The barcode can be any kind of Sample ID desired with a prefix of up to 19 characters
long as long as it meets the following criteria:
♦
The prefix must start and end with the letter "C" (the user need not enter the beginning
"C" in the Prefix field).
♦
The barcode label on the control tube must begin with the prefix, including a "C" at
both the start and end of the barcode.
♦
The entire barcode cannot be longer than 20 characters.
3. In the Control Name field, enter a descriptive name for each control.
The Control Name should be something meaningful to all PROCLEIX TIGRIS System
operators in the laboratory. The Control Name can be up to 50 characters long; it will be
displayed on Results reports and on the Results grid.
Note: For control names longer than 18 characters, the entire name may not be
displayed on the report. The number of characters depends on the type and size of
the characters.
4. Click OK to save the changes.
The system will now recognize samples with the defined prefixes as user-defined
controls when they are run as part of a worklist.
