| |
| | |
| ===Tubo===
| |
| | |
| Tubo is a hardware and software package designed as a workspace "to organize and retrieve tubes through automatic position detection."<ref name="OmniSol" /> The systm is designed to automatically recognize operations performed on the device work area, including placement and removal of a rack or tube. Users can place a rack of tubes of any size on the workspace, and the system is designed to scan, recognize, and place the tubes into the workflow. The system includes a relational database for archiving data from the machine.<ref name="OmniSol" />
| |
| | |
| Workflow for Tubo is generally:
| |
| | |
| '''1''' Identify a rack by scanning its barcode (built-in or external device attached).
| |
| | |
| '''2''' Place the rack on the Tubo workspace where required.
| |
| | |
| '''3''' Identify a tube by scanning its barcode, then place it in any rack or in the rack suggested by Tubo.
| |
| | |
| '''4''' If the rack is recognized (i.e. coming from a specific analyzer), there is no need to scan each tube: tube mapping is already done.
| |
| | |
| '''5''' Search for a specific tube (or set of tubes) by entering a tube ID (or other criteria) or just choose any selection filter.
| |
| | |
| '''6''' Tubes are highlighted on both touchscreen and workspace coordinates (LEDs).
| |
| | |
| '''7.''' Move tubes and/or racks to the required next location.
| |
| | |
| Tubo's capabilities are not limited by mechanical constraints. Here some other business cases:
| |
| | |
| * tube check-in
| |
| * tubes sorting (multi-step workflow; priority management)
| |
| * tube retrieval (on any rack, including on analyzer/automation system racks)
| |
| * tube selection to be completed from different analyzers
| |
| * instant guideline to select tubes on any rack for rerun/reflex or next applicable step
| |
| * tube storage (move a rack away from Tubo and specify the storage unit)
| |
| * aliquotting (highlight primary tube and position(s) for the aliquotes)
| |
| * phletobomist side builds (building the rack mapping at the blood collection area)
| |
| * lab automation of tubes not suitable for a typical automated system
| |
| | |
