ABSTRACT:
An automated biological screening system obtains biological and procedural data from a slide set of a selected clinical laboratory. The integration system tests the data on standardized criteria and passes and fails the data in selected categories. The results of the assessment are used to make process adjustment recommendations based on the results of a laboratory process adjustment procedure. Assessment and adjustment may continue until data from a slide set from the selected clinical laboratory passes in each category. The integration system then sets up, calibrates and installs the automated biological screening system. During operation, the integration system continuously monitors biological data generated by the automated biological screening system. The biological data may also be stored in a central product/service database for additional monitoring. The integration system also serves as an objective standard for reviewing and improving laboratory practices.
