Mini indexor Unit — Pneumatic Tube System Traceability
Challenge
Exhaustive manual work is required to collect and send samples to the Laboratory with a Pneumatic Tube System (PTS), quickly becoming too time-consuming for the laboratory technician.
Current Pains
Overuse of Pneumatic Tube System — use of PTS for non-urgent samples clogging the system
Prioritization of Urgent Samples is sub par
Delayed and Time-consuming sample check-in — lab technicians may not be aware of sample arrival through the PTS delaying sample processing; sample check-in at the end of the PTS requires too many manual steps.
No visibility to where the samples are in the PTS
indexor
A mini indexor Unit is implemented to improve sample traceability, especially with urgent , and the workflow for a simplified process, with automated sample traceability, by automating data collection when registering and sorting in the pre-analytical.
The mini indexor simplifies the process of collecting and recording data, helping to drive efficiency by reducing the time needed to complete tasks.
Benefits
Reduces record-taking tasks to a simple scan and send
Provides sample visibility and traceability on PTS, with increased data points
