Requisition ID
To make a request on your lab machine, you must get a Requisition ID for the patient. This is displayed in the large yellow box at the top of the analyser screen.

Follow the usual procedure for running your sample in your lab machine but when prompted for a Requisition ID, enter the Requisition ID for the patient you have noted.
View Analyser results
When the tests have been run, the results will automatically be inserted into the patient's treatment history. You can view the results from the result line under the Analyser tab or from the Patient's treatment history.
