Configuring reruns

You may have to rerun some patient tests if they are flagged with an alarm mark or for any reason required by your laboratory review protocol. If needed, the chemistry system can automatically request and rerun flagged results. You can also manually request a rerun.

Automatically request reruns for flagged samples

Select here for Explanation of reanalysis conditions

·   Use the Rerun.cond. button in the Analytical Parameters (Chemistry) window to request a rerun if a photometric test is flagged. You can have the rerun automatically performed with the original dilution ratio (first condition), or with an alternate dilution (u or d) that is defined in the Reanalysis conditions area. Automatic use of an alternate diluent is also available.

·   Use Rerun Condition in the ISE Parameter Settings window to request a rerun if an ISE result is flagged.

·   Use the Rerun Condition feature in the Ratio Parameters window to request a rerun if a ratio is flagged.

Processing the rerun automatically

Use Auto Retest on the System Specifications Set window to have the rerun automatically aspirated from the dilution tray (DTT) or the sample tray (STT).

Manually requesting rerun using Review/ dit

Use the Review/Edit window to manually request a rerun for any patient test result. In the Dispens.vol. column, select the original sample dilution or a reanalysis dilution (u or d) previously defined in the Analytical Parameters (Chemistry) window.
