The automation system described here, which consists of the Siemens Healthineers Aptio® Automation system, Sysmex® CS-5100 coagulation analyzer, and a Laboratory Information System (LIS), can contribute to intelligent management of coagulation testing in the laboratory. Based on actual operating conditions and the qualitymanagement requirements of coagulation testing, the laboratory in this study realized intelligent management of many aspects of the testing process, including sample management, priority testing of STAT samples, designation of the testing instrument, color coding of sample priority and other variables in the LIS interface, timeout reminders, and online reruns. The lab also benefited from the automatic decanting and quality-control functions of the coagulation analyzer. By adapting the pure-water management system of the Sysmex analyzer .. View More»
