RESULTS MANAGEMENT
Overview
Up to 600 patient test results and 300 quality control test results per test well are stored in the instrument
database. In addition to test results, the date and time of each test, PID (if entered) or QC tag, and OID (if
specified) are also stored.
The stored results can be grouped by type of result (patient or QC result), PID, or OID for display, review
and printing. When printing test results, the results of the last test or the entire database of patient results
or QC results can be printed.
Caution: Verify that any third-party connectivity software to be used is compatible with the software
version of the HEMOCHRON Response instrument in use. Transferred data will be lost if third-party
connectivity software is used with non-compatible versions of HEMOCHRON Response software.
Printing Results
Results of the last test or the entire database of patient results or QC results can be printed.
Note: An external printer or computer is required for database printing. Although the internal
printer can be used to print results from the database, it is designed for single test result printing.
To Print Results:
1.
Press the PRINT key. A menu of printer commands is displayed.
2.
Press 1, 2 or 3 as appropriate. The selected results are printed.
Note: The date and time the test was run and the OID (if specified) are also printed for each
test. For patient results, the PID (if entered) is also printed for each test.
3.
If needed, press 4 to cancel printing of results.
Database Query
Database Query commands are used to:
• Determine the number of patient or QC results stored in the database for either well
• Display the record for a particular test that was run
• Search the database for records matching selected criteria
Caution: Results from the oldest test are overwritten if a test is run when the database for a well is
full. Therefore, it is important to periodically check, print, archive and erase the database contents.
To Check the Database:
1.
Display the first page of the main menu.
2.
Press 4 to display the Database menu. Press 2 (for total patient records) or 4 (for total QC
records) to display the number of records currently stored in the database.
3.
Press any key to display the Database menu again.
4.
Press 5 to display the total number of records that are currently in both the patient and QC
databases for both wells. This information will be displayed for ten seconds before the Database
menu is displayed again.
To Display a Particular Record:
1.
Display the first page of the main menu.
2.
Press 4 to display the Database menu. Press 1 (for a patient record) or 3 (for a QC record) to
display the number of records in the selected database.
3.
Enter the number for the first record to be displayed and press YES. The specified record
number is displayed.
