AutoTrack®
Laboratory Sample Routing

There are four main functions in the AutoTrack system:

1. System Resources Set Up
2. Sample Routing
3. Sample Query
4. Reports

You can define your own shelves, locations, rack type, racks, analyzers and tests to reflect your current system. An example is, sample 71532 is stored at the Pathology Laboratory, on the top shelf, in a rack of 10 rows by 10 columns, that will be expired in 10 days.

AutoTrack automatically finds any outstanding tests ordered for each sample by interfacing with your Laboratory Information System (LIS). You can choose to log the testing events, or alternatively, store the sample.

Entering a sample identification number in the Query mode gives the location and history of every sample matching that number. If the sample has been removed, it will show the comment associated with the removal. The sample history will tell you if the sample is awaiting testing. If the sample is in the system, you can also remove the samples at this point, either singly or in a batch. Three types of reports can be generated at any time in AutoTrack: expired racks; removed samples; and samples for which storage was forced even though there are outstanding tests. Every rack that has expired is included in the "Expired Rack" report, along with the racks' expiry dates, status (empty, partially filled or full), and location. You can empty all the expired racks at this stage. Every sample removed shows a comment entered at the time of removal, helping to track the location of removed samples. There is an option to return the sample if desired. Samples stored despite having outstanding tests are put together in a report so when they are needed for testing, you can find them and remove them easily.
