I don t understand the sample numbering system, it does not make sense, how does it work?
The current sample numbering system uses the cycle and run or despatch number to identify the sample i.e. FB (program name) 4 (cycle number) 09a (specimen number). Where a test has only one cycle for the year, the numbering system is fairly explanatory. The FBC however has 2 cycles per year and so the numbering system tends to be confusing to some participants. Haematology QAP has no immediate solution to this, as it is a software limitation issue.
