HCLAB Micro enables laboratories to efficiently process microbiology specimens and enter results electronically,
reducing turnaround times and improving reporting.
HCLAB Micro readily integrates with a range of microbiology analysers, reducing transcription errors. Enhanced bya sophisticated rules engine, result processing is intelligent and streamlined.
Laboratory managers benefit from a range of reporting tools from day-to-day workload statistics to infection
control reports.
HCLAB Micro is a Smart Client system, fully integrated with the HCLAB LIS.
The user interface is designed to ensure an intuitive user experience and easy navigation for all functions frombench user and reporting to administration and configuration.

HCLAB Micro supports preliminary reporting for direct examination results before proceeding to follow-up work,
i.e. identification and antibiotic sensitivity testing. These tests may be performed using automated analysers andthe testing results can be sent to HCLAB via Micro Interface.
The completed results will come together to produce a final report.

Electronic Worksheets
The electronic worksheets in HCLAB Micro are intuitive, easy-to-use, and eliminate the need for paper
documentation. Features include:• Easy recording of observations:à media results, direct examination results
à dynamic selection from dictionaries, organism ID and antibiotic susceptibility• Batch result entry option for no-growth• Intelligent multi-purpose rules engine, including:à automatic insert of ID test and antibiotic code or panel assign default susceptibility result
à delta check for identified organisms
à trigger alerts and warning messages for unusual and abnormal sensitivities• One-click access to easily print sample and media labels• Seamless view for full patient history at any point in the workflow• Total result view with drill-down feature for greater detail
Once the specimen has been processed, the electronic worksheet system facilitates fast processing of reports andresult approval and validation.

Microbiology Interfaces
HCLAB Micro supports bi-directional interfacing to most microbiology analysers, i.e. identification + antibiotic
susceptibility and microbial detection systems (blood culture). With interfaces between HCLAB Micro and yourmicrobiology analysers, data flows electronically, eliminating transcription errors and saving time.

Automatic Blood Culture
The HCLAB Micro module allows users to apply rules to auto-verify and release negative test results received fromthe blood culture analyser.
If test results are entered manually, a batch release function is available in HCLAB Micro for users to release a batchof no growth samples. Both features help to increase productivity and improve report turnaround in the laboratory.

HCLAB MicroManagement Reports
Management reports are an essential component of the daily running of the laboratory.
Using HCLAB Micro, statistical reports can be run in the areas of workload, turnaround times, specimen rejection
and test count.
For infection control, data can be gathered on the following:• Organism versus Specimen Type• Organism versus Location• Organism versus Patient• Sensitivity Summary• Antibiotic for One Organism|7

HCLAB Micro is a completely paperless system that capably manages all microbiology request types from
simple to complex. HCLAB Micro features advanced functionality for the microbiology analytical workflow
with multiple options for result entry; aiding the laboratory scientist at every stage in the process.
