INSTRUMENT OPERATION
4. When a Reagent Strip is detected at the loading sta-
tion after a single ID number has been entered, two
changes occur on the display:
4.
• The number to the left of the ID changes to the
sequence number of the specimen being tested.
This number will increment each time a strip is
moved to the read area.
4.
• The prompt at the top of the display changes each

NOTE: The display remains at the ID Entry screen
throughout the entire run when IDs are entered imme-
diately prior to testing the specimen.
D. Printing and Transmitting Results
Results are transmitted to the printer and/or comput-
er as soon as all reagent areas on the strip have been
read. However, if a record is flagged for the confirmatory
report and "Edit flagged results" is ON (see "End-of-Run
Reports" next), that record is not transmitted until after
the end-of-run reports have been exited.

End-of-Run Reports
If you marked any analytes to be flagged for confir-
matory and/or microscopic tests and if "Mark positives"
is ON (in the Setup Routine), one or two end-of-run
reports may be displayed when the run is completed. The
Confirmatory and/or Microscopic Report screens will
show the SEQ # and ID of the record, plus the abbrevia-
tion for each analyte that was positive and marked for
flagging. Up to five records may be displayed on one
screen; additional records can be viewed by touching the
Place
and
keys. If there are records in both the
"
Confirmatory and Microscopic Reports, the Confirmatory
Report will be displayed first. If results are to be edited,
this must be done before exiting the Confirmatory Report
(see "Editing Results" next). You can print a report by
touching
. Then touch
the report screen.
NOTE: A third report will be displayed if there are any
records for which an error was reported for one or more
analytes. This report will be displayed last, and any spec-
imens listed should be retested.
Editing Results in the Confirmatory Report
If you perform confirmatory testing on any of the spec-
imens and want to edit the reported results, this is done
from the Confirmatory Report screen. You must first have
specified one or more tests for the Confirmatory Report
and have selected ON for the "Edit flagged results"
option in the Setup Routine (Section 3, Steps G-2
and H-1).
1. While the Confirmatory Report is being displayed, use
the
and
desired record, then touch
when you are ready to exit
keys to move the highlighting to the
to select the record.
