Abstract
A urine work area manager comprises a computing unit and a set of machine executable instructions stored in a memory for execution by the computing unit. The computing unit transfers commands and data between a urine test strip reader and the manager using a first interface, and transfers commands and data between a urine sediment analyzer and the manager using a second interface. In operation, the computing unit instructs the urine test strip reader to analyze a plurality of urine samples, receives a strip analysis result from the urine test strip reader, and generates a first set of instructions for controlling the urine sediment analyzer using the strip analysis result. The computing unit further instructs the urine sediment analyzer to analyze the plurality of urine samples with the first set of instructions and receives a sediment analysis result from the urine sediment analyzer using the second interface.
