2 Expert workflow management Concept Professional management of laboratory processes in terms of workflow optimisation is recognized as a major contributor for further improvement of laboratory cost and quality position in the market. Roche provides innovative pre- and postanalytical systems to support workflow optimisation, which results in a beneficial improvement of testing efficiency, service to clinicians and provided patient care. The cobas p pre- and post-analytical family, providing stand-alone Task Targeted Automation or connected Total Laboratory Automation, including the MODULAR PRE-ANALYTICS EVO, allows small to very large laboratories to achieve their individual goals concerning workflow efficiency, reduced complexity, flexibility, control and security. With the new cobas p 312 preanalytical system the cobas p family is reaching for a new dimension of laboratory automation. The cobas p 312 pre-analytical system is a computer controlled stand-alone system for decapping, sorting and archiving of sample tubes for SWA, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis. Small footprint Selective decapping Flexible sorting Works with most common tube types Throughput of up to 450 tubes per hour Sorting out of centrifuge buckets Sorting into and out of analyzer racks Sorting into archive racks Ergonomic work space Remote access for error handling and service

3 cobas p 312 pre-analytical system The new dimension of laboratory automation As sorting in and sorting out drawers are freely definable, cobas p 312 pre-analytical system provides a unique and tailor-made rack layout. This landmark in sorting space management offers maximum efficiency at minimal space requirements: Sample tubes can be identified and registered, decapped on demand and mean wise put back in the same sample carrier or into a carrier for another target. Please find below an example of sample processing. 1 Step 1 Input Step 2 Sorting into internal tube transporter Step 3 Registration and decapping on demand 4 Step 4 Back into same sample carrier or into a carrier for another target

5 Workflow efficiency With its throughput of 450 samples per hour the cobas p 312 pre-analytical system offers considerable increase of workflow efficiency combined with a very small footprint. Though, its loadings capacity of up to 600 sample tubes ensures long walkaway times for the laboratory staff. As registration of all primary samples can be done in one single step there is no presorting required. Sorting directly into analyzer s target racks and in and out of centrifuge racks saves time and staff capacity as well as it improves the consolidation of different laboratory disciplines. Reduced complexity From the single point of entry samples follow their destination, always being tracked by LIS/WAM. Test tubes could optionally be decapped and sorted respecting barcode alignment if its demanded by the subsequent analyzer. This helps to reduce time consuming manual intervention and to reduce complexity in laboratory workflow bringing forward the consolidation of the following steps. After analysis the cobas p 312 pre-analytical system is able to perform recursive workflow, detecting new or open requests or sorting into archive positions respectively. This avoids time consumptive sample searching and guarantees a fast and efficient sample retrieval for add-on testing. Flexibility As sorting in and sorting out drawers are freely definable, cobas p 312 pre-analytical system provides a unique and tailor-made rack layout and management: Sample tubes can be read and decapped and mean wise put back in the same place in the same rack or into the analyzer rack following the customized configuration rules. The cobas p 312 pre-analytical system processes all conventional barcodes, and all common tube types can be decapped and sorted in mixed mode. Handling of open tubes is possible. Continuous loading during routine allows streamline processing without interruption of workflow. Minimum space requirement provides a maximum of placement flexibility for this compact stand-alone pre-analytical system. Control and security The sample specific automated processing is controlled by LIS/WAM. Communication to the information system follows ASTM protocol via LAN (TCP/IP) and enables sample management via batch download, host query or dynamic interface. Sorting of tubes with unreadable barcode or without test requests will lead to default rack and guarantees early detection of erroneous samples as well as faster initialization of corrective actions. Every step could be tracked and controlled from the positive ID by barcode scan to sample and archive traceability, which helps to save time and reduce laboratory mistakes. Reduction of manual sample handling leads to decrease of human risk factor as well as to radical reduction of bio hazardous exposition of laboratory staff.
