Thanks Clare, that explains why David Kennedy has it working OK on v6 since the lab that contacted me are using MAGIC workstation - I wonder why meditech have set it up differently!!

As far as I know they verify in Meditech - I'll find out and get back in touch.



If v6 uses ordered date and time, might this not be very different from sample date and time? 



Best wishes

Hi Anne,



In MAGIC it uses verify time but in Version 6 it goes on ordered date and time and this is hard coded - so testing is entirely different. Do you verify in Meditech or do you have a data manager?



I'm happy to help with the calculation in anyway I can, if you would like my direct e-mail please let me know.



Best Wishes

Hi Anne,



We have AKI alerts running in Meditech V6 at Sunderland.



We are assured that the date and time of collection are used and there were no problems running the test script.



We have been running for a month now with no issues.



David
