Problems solved by technology

However, it is different in hospital laboratories, especially small hospital laboratories, where staff shortages and lack of training may necessitate the transfer of samples to accredited laboratories
Transfer of samples may unnecessarily delay time-critical treatment decisions, and because samples may degrade over time, often shortens the time to obtain valid assay results

[0059] Example 1: Association of Reagents for a Second Type of Analytical Detection Controlled by the Detection Manager Module

[0060] The order of pipetting in some assays may affect the reliability of some assays. For those experiments, pipetting of other additional reagents may not be possible between the use of two or more specific reagents, and it is desirable that the pipetting steps should be as close in time as possible to each other to yield optimal analytical performance. Such as Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, reagents can be linked within one reagent pack (which itself can contain one or more reagents), or between two or more reagent packs (each of which can also contain one or more reagents) are linked between.

[0061] Once connected, a pipetting sequence can be defined on the analyzer, and individual applications of associated assays can then be pipetted for a particular biological sample in a first predetermined sequence. In some embodiments, in case a...

[0068] Example 2: Restricted pipetting sequence for correlated reagents

[0069] According to the above Figure 4A and Figure 4B The association (either logically or as a set) of embodiments may allow the definition of predetermined pipetting sequences for reagents. In this example, the pipetting sequences for which two specific types of defined pipetting sequences are proposed for association as sets differ in the manner in which the detection process is repeated in the event of a detection failure from a secondary detection request.

[0070] exist Figure 5 In the scheme shown in Reagent Pack A and Reagent Pack B 500, 502 (referred to as semi-associative), the pipetting sequence for detection is defined as the process 504 from Pack A to Pack B. When either or both of the two tests fail, only the failed test needs to be repeated, using either reagent pack A 506 or reagent pack B 508 for the repeat of the test. exist Figure 5In the scheme of , the pipetting order (refer...

[0071] Example 3: Representative analytical assay of the second type

[0072] In this example, representative analysis tests that can be performed under the control of the disclosed test command manager module are described. As in this example and the attached Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As used in , "ACN" refers to the set of instructions that, if present in the detection manager module, represent the second set of instructions, and if present in the analyzer, represent the first set of instructions of the first type (" direct use") or represent the first instruction set of the second type ("restricted").

[0073] Figure 6 The first detection command interface in performing antigen (Ag) / antibody (Ab) dual detection (eg, for HCV, HBV, HIV, Chikungunya, EBV, or the like) is shown in , detection command manager modules, and the interaction between analyzers. In this example, the detection order manager module is shown having the ACNA for Ag / Ab dual detection store...

Abstract

Disclosed is an analytical test management system and method that can in certain embodiments reduce the likelihood that errors are made during the performance of combinations of analytical tests that together are used to provide an analytical result that can be the basis of a diagnosis or a treatment decision. In one embodiment, test orders submitted through a test order interface are received at a test manager module that decides whether the test order is for a simple test or whether the test order is for a combination of tests. If the test order is for a simple test, the test order is forwarded to an analyzer for processing. If the test order is for a combination of tests that together lead to a final result, the test order manager module assumes control over the test order and directs the analyzer according to secondary test requests, the results of which are used by the test order manager module to, for example, decide whether additional secondary test requests should be sent to the analyzer or make calculations used to provide the final result.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a system and method for managing analytical testing. Background technique [0002] In some cases, the medically important information does not come from a single test, but rather, it is a combination of tests that produces the results needed by healthcare professionals to make treatment decisions for patients. As the complexity of these test combinations increases, the potential for error increases, especially when tests are ordered individually and results of varying quality are combined to provide results on which therapy is based. [0003] A related challenge for suppliers of medical testing systems is the increased regulatory and quality demands associated with the increased need to extract additional medical value from existing and emerging testing portfolios. Regulatory demands on these suppliers are especially heightened when the results of complex assay panels are the basis for influential diagnoses, or decisi...
