Early Demographics Data Entry
Selecting the Early Demographics option enables you to enter demographic data early in
the sample analysis process. For normal samples, you can enter data during sample
aspiration. For microsamples, you can enter data during microsample aspiration,
positioning, and verification.
NOTE:
If you do not verify removal of the sample device before the system performs an
automatic wash following the completion of a sample measurement, an additional wash is
performed. Performance of an additional wash delays system availability and diminishes
sample throughput.
Enabling Early Demographics Data Entry
1. Select
Setup > Secured Options > Analysis Options.
2. Select
Early Demographics > Save
.
Early Demographics is off by default.
When you select Early Demographics the Data Entry screen displays automatically when
the following actions are performed:
•
You select a patient sample at the Analysis screen and insert a sample.
• You select Microsample mode at the Analysis screen and insert a microsample.
System Behavior During Normal Sample Analysis
• You must complete entering data before sample analysis proceeds.
• If you finish entering data but aspiration is not complete, the Wait screen displays until
aspiration completes. You are then prompted to remove the sample device and
analysis continues.
• If you finish entering data and aspiration is complete, you are prompted to remove the
sample device, and analysis continues.
NOTE:
If the system detects insufficient sample to process a normal measurement,
data entry is interrupted and you are prompted to position the sample as a
microsample. If you do not complete entering data before analysis completes, data
entry may be interrupted and you may be prompted to verify the sample.
