5. When all samples have been processed, check to see if all entries have been
deleted from the Work List. Entries are automatically deleted from the Work
List when a match occurs. Entries remaining in the Work List indicate a
successful match did not occur. The operator should follow laboratory
procedures to determine the cause of this discrepancy.
Running STAT Samples with Specimen IDs
STAT samples with Specimen IDs are processed in the same manner as described
in Using the Work List with Specimen IDs and Running Samples immediately
above.
For the CELL-DYN 3200CS model, only a Bar Code or other Specimen ID may
be used with the Work List to match entries. Because this model has no Sample
Loader, rack and tube position cannot be used to identify specimens.
Samples are run individually in both Open and Closed Modes.
WARNING: Potential Biohazard. Consider all specimens and reagents,
controls, calibrators, etc., that contain human blood or serum as potentially
infectious. Wear gloves, lab coats, and safety glasses, and follow other
biosafety practices as specified in the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Rule
(29 CFR Part 1910.1030) or other equivalent biosafety procedures.
Using the Work List with Bar Codes
The Closed Sample Aspiration Tower has a built-in Bar Code Reader that
automatically reads a bar code label placed on the tube. Refer to Appendix A for a
complete discussion of bar code labels and instructions for correct placement of the
labels on the tubes.
When bar code numbers are used in Work List entries, samples may be run in any
order after the Work List has been created. If Work List records are not downloaded
from a host, they may be entered by the operator at the instrument.
As samples are processed, the instrument does the following:
• reads the bar code label on the tube and searches the Work List for that bar
code number
• If a match is found, the demographic data from the Work List is displayed on
the RUN screen along with the results, and the entire record is stored in the
Data Log. The Work List entry is deleted.
• If no match is found, the Bar Code number is displayed on the RUN screen
without demographic data and stored in the Data Log along with the results.
No Work List entry is deleted.
