It is important to define the specific working method for sample identification in your
laboratory:
◆ Systematic use of barcodes must be defined as: « Barcode ».
◆ If barcode are not used, select « Rack / Position ».
◆ If both Barcode and Rack/position are used, select the « Rack / Position ».
1.8. Sample tube and order association
This screen allows manual matching between sample tubes and worklist orders that have been
classified as «exceptions».
This screen will show 2 lists:
◆ Sample tubes, found by the instrument and defined as « Non-matched ».
◆ Sample results that are « Non-matched » to Orders
To match the results of non identified tubes with orders see 6.2. Result /order association,
page 4-53.
Matching non identified results with order, never modifies orders.
1.9. Patient file management
The ABX PENTRA 80 Patient file management enables the filling of orders if the patient de-
mographic data is known.
◆ If no data is placed into the «Patient ID» field, an automatic identification number is
created as followed: «AUTO_PID_xxx». This mode will create limitations for sample pro-
cessing!
◆ It is highly recommended that you use the «Patient ID» field to create a single Patient ID
for each patient sample. This field is highly necessary to create patient files that can be
archived and easily associated with (searching on «Patient ID» criteria) in order. Patient
demographical data can only be modified when it is «Manually» created on the instrument.
The Host computer can only modify patient demographical data that has been transmitted
to the instrument by a LIS. When a patient file is modified (by the LIS or manually by the
user), all previous results attached to that file are flagged!
1.10. Loading Worklist from the LIS
The ABX PENTRA 80 contains communication connections for Bi-directional transmission to
and from a Host computer.
A single Patient ID always identifies Worklist orders generated from the Host computer.
When loading from the Host, if identification number of the tube already exists in the
worklist, previous order will be updated to include the last modifications of the new order.
Remember, it is impossible to update the order on the instrument when it has been transmit-
ted to the instrument from the Host computer.
