******************************************************************* First release of LABMAINT, a new free utility software for clinical laboratories . Platform : Win 9x/NT4 ******************************************************************* LABMAINT is a maintenance organizer designed for clinical chemistry laboratories, but it can also be used by technical departments in various companies. LABMAINT creates, for every day , a work-list for the maintenance actions. It takes into account what is planned, what is late and the days of rest. Each morning the personnel in each section gets a listing for his daily work of maintenance. When done, the maintenance actions are registered with the name of the operator and a possible comment. With LABMAINT nothing is forgotten. A complete history of maintenance, sorted by dates or instruments, is permanently available. The senior staff is always aware of what is to be done, what has been done , who did it and when. LABMAINT is a means of compliance with the rules of tracability for the maintenance in a laboratory. Non-periodic service actions (engineer visits, setup of new versions...) can be also individually archived. For automatic analysers with complex maintenance schedules, the tedious entry of the list of the maintenance actions can be avoided thanks to exchangeable maintenance libraries created according to the specifications of manufacturers.
