M3: Analysis Automation (Part 1: Introduction and Automated Instruments in Urinalysis) Flashcards
Why do we need automation in the laboratory?
a. Increase productivity
b. Minimize human errors
c. both
d. neither
c. both
What are the 3 major variable in urinalysis
as provided by ma’am gia
- Lab personnel timing
- Interpretation of color reaction
- Correct color readings
time, interpretation and reading of color
Major Variables in Urinalysis
T or F
in chemical analysis, color biases (human errors) can happen among different lab personnel
F (physical analysis) technically tama pa rin to sinceyung color nung strip pwede rin magka error
T or F
Analysis Automation improves reproducibility of results and color discrimination while increasing productivity to standardize the reporting of results
T
T or F
Automation is not only for body fluids
T
Ultimate goal of urinalysis except:
a. Improved reproducibility
b. Color discrimination
c. Widely increased productivity
d. Varying reporting of urinalysis results
e. NONE
d. Varying reporting of urinalysis results
SHOULD BE
STANDARDIZED reporting of urinalysis results
Familiarize the ultimate goal of urinalysis
- Improved reproducibility
- Color discrimination
- Widely increased productivity
- Standardized reporting of urinalysis results
Familiarize the advantages of automation
- Standardize sample processing
- Report results with consistent quality
- Increase productivity
- Online computer capability with an LIS interface
- Barcoding
- Printed report
- Flagging abnormal results
- Storing patient and control results
- Minimal calibration, cleaning, and maintenance
Advantages of automation
Identify what advantages of automation:
minimize errors produced by personnel (e.g. time and color interpretation)
Increased productivity
Advantages of automation
Identify what advantages of automation:
- Laboratory information system
- Inputting compiled patient information/results to the system especially when dealing with different departments
Online computer capability with an LIS interface
Advantages of automation
Identify what advantages of automation:
Helps reduce patient misidentifications when it comes to samples
barcoding
Advantages of automation
Identify what advantages of automation:
Results generated by the machine
printed report
Advantages of automation
Meaning of LIS?
Online computer capability with an LIS interface
Laboratory Information System
Uses the principle that light reflection from the test pads decreases in proportion to the intensity of the color produced by the concentration of the test substance
Reflectance photometry
Reflectance photometry
(Directly or Inversely proportional)
Light reflection of test pads and Intensity of color produced by concentrationn
Inversely proportional?????
