Conclusion
The desk-top computer system effectively collects and processes data from multichannel analysers in clinical laboratories.
Supporting Evidence
- The system can handle up to 750 patients per day with a maximum of 14 analyses per patient.
- It provides automatic data collection and quality-control statistics.
- The programs are adaptable to other computer systems and analysers.
Takeaway
This study shows how a small computer can help labs keep track of test results and make sure everything is accurate.
Methodology
The system uses three Metric 85 microcomputers to collect and process data from multichannel analysers.
