Tips
Q: How to tell whether the sample result is final?
A: Cannot tell 100% from format

• Rerun/Reflex cannot be identified

Measure
Send results with

• Initial or 2nd analysis

• Rule check results

XN-L Training & SSGM 2014 7

Tips
• Initial or reflex/rerun can be identified
– “Action code” and “Report type” combination on
Analysis Order Record
• Action code
– M: Manual, initial
– A: Rerun, reflex

“M” and “F” means initial analysis

• Reflex/Rerun cannot be identified
– “Result Status” on Result Record
• F: None
• I: Repeat
• P: Rerun/Reflex
• N: Query to host

• Two cases are not unmatched with situation

– Query to host cannot guarantee next analysis if no
order exist for reflex/rerun
– Reflex cannot guarantee next analysis if additional
order was already measured in initial analysis
