SMARTER SAMPLE TRACKING SOLUTIONS
INDEXOR USE CASE
SUPPORT CLSI PRE-ANALYTICS COMPLIANCE
CHALLENGE
CLSI’s PRE04 guideline outlines best practices for handling, transporting, processing, and storing blood specimens to ensure sample integrity and reliable test results.
Labs are responsible for implementing these standards, but manual processes and fragmented workflows can make compliance difficult, potentially affecting sample quality and patient outcomes.
COMMON ISSUES
Difficulty maintaining accurate collection timestamps
Inconsistent handling and transport conditions (e.g., temperature, light exposure)
Lack of standardized transport protocols and packaging
Limited traceability of samples during transit
Manual check-in processes that slow down sample reception
Insufficient data to support sample viability decisions
HOW INDEXOR HELPS
Indexor offers tools that help laboratories align with CLSI PRE04 recommendations by supporting standardized, traceable, and efficient pre-analytical workflows:
iRack Sample Organization:
Samples placed vertically at collection support proper handling and transport readiness
Accurate Timestamping:
Collection time is automatically recorded for improved traceability
iLogger Transport Case:
Maintains isothermal conditions and monitors temperature, vibration, and handling during transport; supports triple packaging principles
Streamlined Sample Reception:
iRacks placed on Indexor enable rapid LIS check-in, reducing manual steps
Comprehensive Analytics:
Captures and stores data on collection time, transport duration, and conditions to support evidence-based decisions
