Before running specimens, the operator should enter data in the demographics
section of the RUN screen to properly identify patient samples.
The operator should enter an Operator ID before running samples. The Operator ID
is displayed on all screens and printed on the graphics report and the blank ticket
report. It is also retained in the QC logs and the Data Log.
The operator ID may be entered from the MAIN MENU or the CALIBRATION menu.
When either menu is selected, the cursor is positioned in the OPERATOR ID entry
field. Type up to three alphanumeric characters and press the Enter key on the
keyboard to save the ID number.
Sample identification information is entered in the upper left corner of the RUN
screen. These entry fields are made available when the Patient, Fragile WBC, or
Resistant RBC specimen types are selected. To select one of these three specimen
types, do the following:
1. Go to the RUN menu and press [SPECIMEN TYPE]
2. Press one of the following keys to select the desired specimen type —
[PATIENT], [FRAGILE WBC], [RESISTANT RBC].
Enter the sample identification information as follows:
1. A Sample ID number (Next ID field) of up to 12 characters may be entered
in the NEXT ID entry field.
2. The remaining patient demographic information may be entered at the
operator's discretion. Refer to Run Screen for Patient Samples earlier in this
section for a discussion of these fields.
3. Parameter Set 1 and Patient Limits Set 1 are the default settings when the
instrument is shipped from the factory. The results are displayed and printed
using these settings unless the operator changes these entry fields. New
parameter and/or limits sets can be entered anytime before a sample is run or
after the results of a sample run are displayed by moving the cursor to the
appropriate field and typing the desired number.
NOTE: When the results are stored in the Data Log, other parameter and
limits sets may be selected by using the [EDIT SPECIMEN] key. For
complete instructions, refer to Using the Data Log later in this
section.
