Purge Results

Purging of results can be done manually based upon the selected dates when the results
were generated. Clearing results from the system removes results data from the Results
screen and may allow for more efficient analysis and filtering when using the screen. If the
system is connected to an LIS, it is possible to filter the purge so that only results that
have been successfully transmitted to the LIS will be removed from the database.
To purge results:
1. Ensure that all results data to be purged has been properly stored according to
laboratory policy. Instructions for exporting results data in report or LIS formats can be
found in the appropriate sections of this manual. Purged results will no longer be
accessible through the system following the completion of this procedure.
2. From the Administration screen, select Data Management.
The Data Management screen opens.
3. Select Purge Results.
The Purge Results window opens.
