A productivity tool for an analytical laboratory is presented. The productivity tool provides aggregated operational status of all laboratory instruments within an analytical laboratory, even without access to their respective internal data stream (i.e., legacy and third party instruments) by determining operational status of a first group of instruments by capturing and processing internal data streams comprising data indicative of an operational status. The productivity tool also determines operational status of a second group of instruments by capturing and processing external surveillance stream(s) of one or more laboratory instrument(s) of the second group.

Analytical laboratory

A method for guiding user input on a computer system of an analysis system that includes an in vitro diagnostic, IVD, device. The IVD device is coupled to the computer system that includes a display, processor, and memory to store applications being executable on the processor. A first application includes instructions that generate on the display a first graphical user interface that includes a set of user interface elements. Each user interface element is positioned in a defined region within the first graphical user interface. The first application includes instructions that control the IVD device to perform an IVD task that includes a sequence of IVD actions. The user activation of the IVD action is performed using a corresponding user interface element. The memory includes geometry data describing a display position for each interface element.

Method and analysis system for processing biological samples

A method implemented by an analysis system is presented. The method comprises receiving task data objects. At least some of the received task data objects are aggregated into aggregated task data object groups. All task data objects belonging to the same aggregated task data object group share at least one step of a task. A selectable aggregation GUI element is specified for each of the aggregated task data object groups. The aggregation GUI elements are displayed in an aggregated view on a graphical user interface. Upon selection of one of the aggregation GUI elements by a user, the aggregated task data object group represented by the selected aggregation GUI element is selected and the user access to program instructions for executing the shared step of the selected aggregated task data object group is automatically provided.

Method for aggregating task data objects and for providing an aggregated view

An analysis system for analyzing biological samples, such as body fluids, methods implemented by the analysis system, and a computer program product for implementing the analysis system are disclosed. The system may include first and second lab devices, at least one of the lab devices may have a user identification component for identifying a user, a device identification component for identifying the lab device, and an interface component for sending a user identifier of the identified user and a device identifier of the lab device. The system may include a server computer having a server interface component for receiving the user identifier and the device identifier, and a processing component for determining a step of a workflow to be executed by the identified user, wherein the server interface component is operable to send a signal being indicative of a determined workflow to the lab device identified by the device identifier.
