System Administration
Configure the system from the Administration screen. Manage the configuration settings
when the instrument is in the Setup or Ready state. Only an Administrator can alter the
configuration settings.
Specimen Processing Modes
Specimens can be tested on the system using one of three (3) different processing
modes:
Random Access Loading—using bidirectional LIS host query
l
Batch Loading—using specimens with SID barcodes
l
Batch Loading—using specimens without SID barcodes
l
If the system is connected to an LIS and the Enable LIS Connection configuration is
enabled, test orders are assigned to samples through the LIS (see LIS Configuration on
page 236).
If the Enable LIS Connection configuration is not enabled, test orders are assigned
based upon the sample default settings in the batch testing mode.
Random Access Loading—Bidirectional LIS Host Query
Random access sample loading allows sample tubes with different assay test orders
to be loaded into a sample rack in any order. If the system is connected to an LIS,
there are two pathways for the system to retrieve the test order information:
Manual Download
The operator selects Fetch From LIS to populate the database with test orders from
the LIS. These test orders are then available for assignment to specimens upon
loading.
Automatic Host Query
Upon sample loading, the system automatically searches the LIS database for the
corresponding test order(s).
In these scenarios, the system associates test orders with loaded specimens that are
recognized by the system through their SID barcodes. A positive match between the
LIS test order and the SID is necessary before specimen processing can proceed.
The test orders are automatically associated with the appropriate SID barcodes upon
sample loading.
