Reflex Testing Configuration
Configure the system to automatically add confirmatory test orders to specimens
designated for additional confirmatory testing. This reflex testing option can be configured
in two (2) ways:
Automatically apply a reflex assay test order to all specimens if they meet the result
l
interpretation.
Users select specimens for potential reflex testing during the Sample Rack loading
l
process.
Use the Reflex Testing Configuration screen to organize the reflex testing settings. Only
an administrator can configure the reflex testing settings. The following table provides the
information displayed for the configuration settings on the Reflex Testing Configuration
screen. Only uniquely barcoded samples loaded can be loaded if Enable Reflex Testing
is selected, regardless if Enable Flagging of Repeat Barcodes is selected or not. If any
duplicate barcodes are loaded with Enable Reflex Testing selected, only the first loaded
sample will be assigned a test order.

When configured for reflex testing, test orders will be generated for specimens with test
order results that match the testing criteria. These reflex test orders will be stored on the
Test Orders screen until the associated specimens are reloaded onto the system. The
Test Orders button flashes yellow when there are reflex test orders present that require
the user to reload the associated specimen tube. When in the batch loading mode,
specimens reloaded with awaiting reflex test orders will not automatically be assigned a
test order for the initial screening assay, regardless of sample default settings. Systems in
random access loading mode continue to receive any non-reflex test orders via the LIS.
After reflex test order assignment, specimens designated for potential reflex testing can
easily be identified on the Sample Rack Bay screen by the "REFLEX" suffix added to the
Sample ID.
