TEST INFORMATION ENTRY
The Test Information feature allows the user to enter information into the
IRMA TruPoint for each patient test. The entry options that are available for
selection with each test have been established by the QA User, and may
include any combination of the following: patient ID, patient temperature,
patient hemoglobin, sample type, sample site, MDRD GFR calculation and
FIO
2
. When entered, this information becomes a permanent part of the patient
test record, and may be transferred to the idms.
ENTERING TEST INFORMATION
• Press the Test Information button that
appears on the Calibrating, Analyzing,
Results, or Patient Recall/Last Results
screens. If this button is not present, the
QA User has not enabled this
feature or none of the options apply to the associated test record.
• The first test information entry screen will display. Enter information, or
press next to advance to the next entry screen.
Patient ID
Patient ID is the only test information item that may require entry. When
Patient ID was enabled by the QA User, two options were available for
selection:
• Optional Patient ID Entry: enter a one-to-twelve character ID to identify
the sample, or press next to leave the Patient ID blank.
• Required Patient ID Entry: enter a one-to-twelve character ID to
identify the sample. Results will not display or print until a Patient ID is
entered and
next is pressed. This screen cannot be bypassed; the only way
to exit this screen is to enter a Patient ID.
• To automatically display the Patient ID from
the last patient test performed, press Prev. ID .
• If the ID entered or displayed exists in the
stored results, the remainder of the Test
Information fields are assigned the same values
as the most recent result for the same product type. If the previous values
are correct, press
next to accept the values displayed, or change values as
necessary.
