15.6 Printing Reports
Use the printed slide reports to sort slides by results category. Slides receiving a result of
Review
must be reviewed by a cytotechnologist.
The instructions in this section assume that the user is familiar with the material in Section 12
and that report options have been set as described in Section 14.
15.6.1
Creating a Print Set (Establishing Rank)
Each time reports are printed, a print set is created that groups all slides processed since the last
print set was created. It is important to remember that once reports are printed for a set of slides,
the slide results for that print set are archived in the BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler database and
the only way to get another set of printed reports or additional reports for that print set is to select
the Reprint icon from the task icon bar in the Main Window. For details on reprinting reports, see
Section 15.10.
Within a print set, all slides classified as
Review
are ranked in order of evaluation score. This
ranking occurs when the print set is created at the time of printing. At this time, each slide is
assigned individual and group ranks. For complete information on ranking, see Section 10.4.1.
To achieve the most reliable ranking information, BD recommends that reports are printed
(create print sets) at consistent intervals so that the number of qualified slides ranked remains
consistent. If a print set containing less than 20 slides is created, the system displays a warning
dialog box and the paper report includes a printed warning at the bottom of the report.
As shown in Figure 15
3, the number of qualified slides accumulated at any given time awaiting
incorporation into a print set is displayed in the Main Window. These reports can either be
init
i
ated manually, or set to print at regular intervals.
•
Setting up the system to print automatically is described in Section 11.3.
•
Generating reports manually is described below. Additional information is also provided in
To print reports manually:
1
Click on the
Report
button at the bottom of the Main Window and then select the
button at the bottom of the screen. If there are no slides available to print, the slide
processing information area in the middle of the window is empty and the
button is
grayed out. When the reports are collected from the printer, a Print Summary Statistics sheet
accompanies each set of reports. An example of such a report is illustrated in Figure 15
