HIL on the Atellica Solution - A Comprehensive Overview

Welcome Welcome to HIL on the Atellica Solution - a comprehensive overview. A part of our day in the life of the lab series. This training is specific for lab managers or operators with authority to change the HIL settings. Blank Hello, my name is Samuel, but you can call me Sam. I am an applications specialist and I have responsibility for training customers on comprehensive overview topics for the Atellica Solution. Today I will discuss HIL, specifically ordering tests, HIL intervals, and assay specific thresholds for alerts and flagging. Are you ready to begin? HIL index intervals Test orders Individual test alerts HIL Using Guided Workflow Allows you to configure: Blank Have you experienced in your lab that you would like to adjust the detection levels or the flagging for HIL by the system? Did you know that you can use the HIL Setup guided workflow to help assist you in configuring both the HIL test orders and individual test alerts? Blank Shown are the default settings index levels for your system that you can find in Online Help. Besides the default values, Online Help also has information on how HIL is performed and calculated and includes instructions for making adjustments. I make sure to stress the importance to my customers that Changing HIL Interval values in the Index Interval requires both validation and review of all assays configured with HIL Alert Indices. Now let me show you how to modify the threshold value, and if appropriate the test or flagging alerts. Blank By having navigated to the guided workflow tile, you can then select the HIL setup guided workflow and then select launch. You can always maintain the default HIL index settings that are a system pre-set. Blank Once your lab has determined and validated the new interval levels, you can modify the setting in the HIL Setup guided workflow. I have selected hemolysis. I can then go in and select the appropriate absorbance value in the Interval upper range text box for that level of the H. It is important to note that the hemolysis index and interval settings display automatically, and you can always maintain the default HIL index settings. For the purposes of this example, we want to modify our interferent. I keep working thru and changing each index level until it has the appropriate values for the interval. Then I select Save. The system would then prompt you to agree and select yes. Ordering HIL Tests Did you know you can change the order modes for HIL tests on your system? Note: This feature requires the appropriate security levels. Please review Online Help for more information about privileges and global policies. Blank Did you know about the ways to configure and to order HIL tests? I am not going to step you through how to order but rather just talk about these modes and a brief description about them. Please note: Refer to Online Help for more information about this feature and the appropriate security levels. Blank There are 3 modes for how the system orders HIL. The manual mode means that the system will not automatically run HIL on every sample. If HIL needs to be run on a sample with this mode, the order must come from the operator or the LIS. The setting Always Order means the system will automatically order and perform HIL testing on every SID. According to Tdef allows you to select by assay, when you want HIL automatically ordered and performed. Modifying Assay Specific Thresholds 1. Information from specific assay’s IFU 2. Laboratory testing 3. Other sources Your lab can use information from the following for HIL Alerting: Note: The maximum effect of a potential interferent can be complex. Take care in your lab when modifying the Threshold values for alerting purposes. Blank I let my customers know that in their lab they can use specific information, gathered from the IFU of the specific assay, laboratory testing, or other sources to customize the index value. At that time, the system will add an alert, or a flag to a test on the result report for HIL Interference. By default, your system uses the assay manufacturer recommended index value for the threshold value. The first step is preparing my system to save changes to the test definition for the assay. Blank In my customers lab they noticed that normal looking samples for ALT were being flagged as slightly hemolyzed. Then they determined and validated that the alert threshold for hemolysis on ALT should be increased so that it takes a higher absorbance value to flag for hemolysis. That can be changed here using the hemolysis drop down box. After making the appropriate increase you would select save. Just a reminder that changing these values requires testing and validation by the laboratory. Are you ready for a knowledge check?
