Getting the results
The results are encrypted and sent to the
doctor. The doctor explains the results of
the tests to the expectant mother. In this
case the findings are easy to interpret and
a relief for the mother-to-be. No rubella,
hepatitis or HIV viruses were detected.
STRATEC’s subsidiary Sanguin develops
software solutions to act as an interface
between the system software in the blood
analysis instrument and the laboratory
or hospital’s own software. This way, the
results of the test just performed can be
transmitted to the patient’s electronic
datasheet. The doctor responsible can
call up the results, make a corresponding
diagnosis and communicate the results
to the patient. Given the increasing
complexity of the results, especially in the
field of molecular diagnostics, evaluation
matrices will be available in future to
assist doctors in providing a diagnosis
that accounts for all parameters, such as
the patient’s DNA or various sub-forms of
a virus.
