Instrument Result Review (Unmatched Results)

Lab technicians instrument-review unmatched-results resolve interfacing

Instrument Result Review (lab/pages/instrument_review.php) handles results coming in electronically from an analyzer (via instrument interfacing) that the system couldn't automatically match to a specific sample or order item — for example, if a barcode was misread or the sample ID didn't line up cleanly.

Step-by-step

  1. Go to Instrument Result Review.
  2. Review the list of unmatched instrument results.
  3. For each one, manually resolve it by linking it to the correct order item/sample.
  4. Once resolved, the result flows into the normal result entry/verification pipeline.

Common issues & fixes

may indicate a barcode labeling or scanning issue upstream at sample collection; review labeling practices with the phlebotomy team.
double-check patient/test identity carefully before resolving, since this directly determines whose chart the result lands on.
