Define Uses Analysis step Types of automation Advantages Disadvantage

Define of automationAutomation, the word coming from automatic so at clinical automation is a automatic equipment which done their process automatically. As this result Reduce our work load Non stop supervisionExpense should be low because no need much techniciansTime save• The technicians are replaced by auto analyzer because it can

work like a technicians.

Uses of automation • Reduce human error• Safety• decrease laboratory costs• improve turnaround time• increase productivity• Run more tests • Test in fewer sites• Operate with fewer instruments. • Retain lower operating costs. • Employ relatively less skilled labor. • Use more automation in a paperless environment

Analysis step 1. Identifying the patient

2. Getting the correct sample

3. Identifying and proper labeling of the sample

4. Delivery of sample in proper storage condition and

within time

5. Preparation of sample for test

6. Sample loading/aspirating

7. Analysis

8. Reporting

9. Entering in register

Sample collection of automation

• Measure the blood sugar just prick the finer with less pain

• The phlebotomist need not pull the syringe, blood gets sucked in due to negative pressure filling the vacuum

Sample delivery the purpose of using for reduce the human error and dely.

Sample preparationIf we are doing sample preparation in automation, the

work time and workload should be reduce so we don’t want to depend on the techniques peoples.

The are 2 types of sample preparation Fully automaticSemi automatic

Analysis Continuous Flow Analyzer Tubing flow of reagents and patients samplesFlow Injection AnalyzerCentrifuge force to mix sample and reagentsDialyzer moduleSeparate testing cuvets for each test and sampleRandom and/or irregular access Technicon Auto analyzer II (AAII) system Peristaltic Pump ModuleAuto Analyzer is an automated analyzer using a special flow

technique named "continuous flow analysis (CFA)" first made by the Technician Corporation. The instrument was invented 1957 by Leonard Skaggs, PhD and commercialized by Jack Whitehead's Technicon Corporation. The first applications were for clinical analysis, but methods for industrial analysis soon followed.
