SMARTER SAMPLE TRACKING SOLUTIONS
INDEXOR USE CASE
ENHANCE SAMPLE TRACEABILITY AT COLLECTION SITE
CHALLENGE
Sample integrity starts at collection, but without automated sample tracking critical data like time, temperature, and shaken samples may be missing. There may be manual errors in time records, temperatures that are too hot or too cold during transit, and more variances. This means that by the time samples reach the lab they may be inadvertently compromised without the collection site or the lab staff knowing.
COMMON ISSUES
This scenario has some implications such as:
Inaccurate collection timestamp
Lack of sample integrity data collected throughout the pre-analytical phase
Compromised sample viability
No means of tracing the sample
HOW INDEXOR HELPS
With the Indexor mini system, phlebotomists can seamlessly integrate traceability and sample integrity metrics into their daily workflow without adding any extra steps. Here’s how:
Instant Traceability
Scanning and placement of tubes in Indexor’s innovative iRack holder creates both physical and digital records from the moment of collection
Guideline-Compliant Storage
Because samples are placed vertically in the iRack, it helps support proper handling during storage, transit, and accessioning
Chain of Custody
Data points such as collector identity and location help build a reliable custody trail
Real-Time Lab Connectivity
When connected to the lab, Indexor sends continuous updates on incoming samples
Operational Efficiency
Proactive visibility to incoming work helps lab teams manage tasks and optimize turnaround times
INDEXOR BENEFITS
Potential improvements with the Indexor solution:
Improve Evaluation of Sample Viability
More consistently capture critical data about samples throughout the pre-analytic stagesOptimize Storage Compliance
Help ensure proper vertical placement and handlingReduce Manual Tasks at Accessioning
