Exploring the Touchscreen

This section provides a brief overview of the screens and icons that are 
displayed on the TEG analyzer touchscreen.

The touchscreen is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. During all analyzer 
operations, a button at the lower right of the touch screen takes you forward to 
the next step of the workflow, while a button at the lower left returns you to the 
previous step.

On every screen, the device name and username of the person who logged in 
displays in the upper left corner, and the system date and time displays in the 
upper right corner.

Home screen

After you log into the TEG analyzer, the 

Home

 screen appears.

Figure 4-6, Home screen

The 

Home

 screen displays the main menu for the analyzer. From this screen, 

you can do the following:

Start a new patient test or quality control test workflow 

Review results from earlier patient tests or quality control tests

Access analyzer settings

Log out of the analyzer

Detailed instructions for these tasks are provided in later sections of this 
manual.
