Using The Work List
Section 5
6. Press
[START LOADER]
to begin sample processing.
7. The samples are automatically processed in the order in which they were
placed in the racks. The Sample Loader automatically stops when all
samples in the last rack have been processed.
NOTE:
Additional entries may be made to the Work List while processing
takes place. To input additional entries to the Work List, press
[WORK LIST]
to display the
WORK LIST
screen. Type in the new
entries.
8. 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
1. STAT samples may be run in either the Closed or Open Modes on the SL
model.
2. STAT samples with either Bar Codes or Specimen IDs may be run using the
Work List.
3. STAT records may be downloaded from a host or entered into the Work List
by the operator.
4. STAT samples are processed in the same manner as other Work List samples.
Refer to
Running Samples with Bar Codes
and
Running Samples with
Specimen IDs
discussed earlier in this section.
Open Mode
Using the Work List with Bar Codes
If Work List entries with Bar Codes have been downloaded from a host, the
operator must type the bar code number into the <Next ID> field on the
RUN
screen.
When the bar code number is entered in the <Next ID> field on the
RUN
screen the
system will automatically try to match the bar code number with a Work List entry.
If a successful match occurs and the sample is processed, the results along with the
demographic data in the Work List will be displayed on the
RUN
screen and sent to
the Data Log. That entry will be deleted from the Work List.
If a successful match does not occur and the sample is processed, the results of the
run are sent to the Data Log with only the bar code number entered by the operator.
The operator must then go to the Data Log and enter the remaining demographic
data for that sample. No entry is deleted from the Work List.
Running Samples
1. In the
RUN
screen, press
[SPECIMEN TYPE]
followed by the appropriate
specimen type (Patient, Fragile WBC, or Resistant RBC).
2. If necessary, press
[CHANGE SAMPLER]
to select Open Mode.
3. Enter the bar code number into the <Next ID> field on the
RUN
screen.
