Abstract

Operation of automated hematology testing, on line to a laboratory dedicated computer, is described. The computer stores, retrieves and monitors the results of two Model S Sr. Coulter Counters, three Technicon platelet counters, one Electra 600 D, and six leukocyte differential consoles, which are interphased to the computer. All other hematology tests are batch entered via the keyboard of cathoderay tubes. The computer generates specimen labels, worksheets, and lists of incomplete tests, monitors all on line instruments, and performs all the calculations used in the procedures of quality control. Results are available instantaneously on cathod ray tubes strategically located in patient related areas throughout the institution. These can be obtained as all of the results for a given day or as cumulative summaries or histogram type plots of results for a given day.
