Embodiment Construction

[0041] Certain terms will be used in this patent application in a manner that should not be construed as being limited to the specific term chosen, but rather in relation to the general concept behind the specific term.

[0042] The terms 'sample', 'patient sample' and 'biological sample' refer to material that may potentially contain an analyte of interest. Patient samples can be derived from any biological source such as physiological fluids including blood, saliva, lens fluid of the eye, cerebrospinal fluid, sweat, urine, feces, semen, milk, ascites, mucus, synovial fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, tissue , cultured cells, etc. Patient samples may be pretreated prior to use, such as preparing plasma from blood, diluting viscous fluids, lysing bacteria, and the like. Methods of processing may involve filtration, distillation, concentration, inactivation of interfering components and addition of reagents. Patient samples can be used directly as obtained from the sou...

Abstract

Disclosed is a method of operating an analytical laboratory, comprising: receiving and identifying a biological sample by a pre-analytical laboratory instrument; retrieving corresponding test order(s); determining a target laboratory instrument for each of the test order(s); determining whether the target laboratory instrument(s) is ready to carry out the test order; transmitting a readiness command to the target laboratory instrument(s) if the target laboratory instrument is not ready; executing instructions of the readiness command by the target laboratory instrument; instructing the targetlaboratory instrument(s) to process the biological sample according to the test order if the target laboratory instrument is ready to carry out the test order and the target laboratory instrument(s) processing the biological sample according to the test order as instructed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a computer-implemented method of operating an analytical laboratory, in particular an in vitro diagnostic laboratory. The present application also relates to an analytical laboratory configured to perform the disclosed method. The present application also relates to a computer program product comprising instructions which, when executed by a control unit of an analytical laboratory, cause said analytical laboratory to perform the disclosed method. Background technique [0002] In vitro diagnostic tests have a major impact on clinical decision-making, providing physicians with critical information. In analytical laboratories, especially in vitro diagnostic laboratories, numerous analyzes of biological samples are performed by laboratory instruments in order to determine the physiological and biochemical state of a patient, which may be indicative of disease, nutritional habits, drug effectiveness, organ function, and ...
