Sažetak
Background: Systemic control of entire laboratory process and monitoring and management of nonconformities are mandatory procedures for every medical laboratory with established quality control system. Along with the most common nonconformities related to sample quality (hemolysis, clot...), a significant number of the nonconformity entitled “sample not delivered” was recorded at Department of Laboratory Diagnostics in 2011. The number of such cases was considerably reduced after introduction of Sample Reader inSIGHT2 device for automated reading of barcoded samples. Materials and methods: Prior to introduction of Sample Reader inSIGHT2 device, there was no possibility for individual receipt of requests for laboratory management in the laboratory information system (LIS), regardless of whether all samples associated with an individual request have been delivered to the laboratory. The Sample reader inSIGHT2 accepts requests only for the samples delivered to the laboratory and barcoded with the label generated from the hospital information system (HIS) or LIS. Communication with the user takes place via a touch sensitive screen. The device informs the user if a sample has already been received and recorded in LIS and if it is acceptable with regard to the sampling time. The files with accreditation-related data (sample receipt time, identification of the user who has received a sample, identification numbers of received samples) are kept for each received sample while, for the purpose of subsequent forensic management, each sample or test-tube rack is photographed. Results: After application of Sample Reader inSIGHT2, the nonconformity “sample not delivered” was recorded in 154 cases, as compared to 1092 cases in 2011 (for the periods of three months), while the average receipt time has been reduced significantly. Conclusion: The application of the device for automated reading of barcoded samples at sample receipt unit of the Department of Laboratory Diagnostics, has allowed rapid and accurate reading of barcoded samples and also a reduced number of the cases of nonconformity entitled “sample not delivered”.
