System setup and order definition workflow
The workflow for defining orders depends on a few configuration settings:
f Utilities > Configuration > Work f low
Working Mode The Working Mode defines the way you select tests when defining orders.
o Use Manual if you use the Cedex Bio analyzer as a stand-alone system.
During order definition, the test selection screen is displayed, allowing you to
select the tests or to make changes to the selection.
o Use Host if the Cedex Bio analyzer is connected to a host computer.
The orders are automatically defined, the test selection screen is not displayed.
After identifying the sample, you are asked to place the sample.
Sample Barcode Use ON if you want to work with barcode and/or if you want to enter the sample ID
via the keyboard.
Use OFF when you want to exclusively work with the keyboard.
Order Mode The order mode reflects the way in which you organize the tests on the test selection
screen.
Use Easy if the reagents fit on one or two reagent disks and you work with one test
panel on the screen (You can fit up to 30 tests and profiles on this panel).
Use Full if you distribute the reagents across several (up to eight) reagent disks and if
you predominantly work with specific groups of tests. You can define up to 25 tests
and profiles on each panel (tab).

Sample ID Handling The sample ID is an identifier of up to 23 alphanumeric characters that is unique
within a whole organization. It cannot be changed once the order is saved. This ID is
used for communication with a laboratory information system.
The order ID is an identifier of up to 23 alphanumeric characters that is unique
within the laboratory. In practice, this could for example be an autonumber followed
by the tested badges description.
If you work with one ID only, the sample ID is used as the order ID as well. There
exists a fixed relation between the sample and order IDs. Make sure this ID is unique
within the Cedex Bio analyzer.
o Use Order ID = Sample ID to have the system automatically define the order ID
identical to the sample ID.
o Use Independent IDs to define the sample and order IDs independently of each
other.
o Use Grouped Sample ID to use identical order and sample IDs as a constant part
of any order for a give sample, and to let the system automatically append a
running number to the ID for each order.
Because there is limited space when displaying lists on screen, Roche recommends to limit
the IDs to 13 characters.
