Section 1 Use or function
Introduction
The GLP systems Track is a modular laboratory automation system used to perform multiple pre-
analytic and post-analytic steps to automate sample preparation and distribution processes in
clinical laboratories. These processes include bar code identification of samples, centrifugation,
aliquoting of samples, transport of samples between processes (modules), and delivery of
samples to one or more Abbott and third-party commercially available laboratory analyzers. Each
module includes a built-in touchscreen, a user interface that functions as a central operating and
display element.
After samples have been loaded onto the system, they are loaded into transport vehicles (CARs)
that run on an intermodule track system. Samples are then directed to the sample preparation
modules and connected analyzers. After the analysis process is completed, the samples are
available to be removed, archived, or disposed.
The system can perform the following sample processing steps:
• Loading in racks or in bulk
• Identification by using bar codes
• Transporting and tracking
• Preparation for removal
Optional sample processing steps are available with additional modules:
• Centrifuging
• Removal of caps or screw caps
• Sealing by using recaps or screw caps
• Aliquoting
• Storage for additional orders
• Automatic sample disposal
The automation software offers features including workload management, sample-to-analyzer
routing (based on sample orders from the laboratory information system and the Track Workflow
Manager), and module operating mode monitoring by using communication links between the
automation system, analyzers, and middleware.
The GLP systems Track does not modify the intended use of the analytic functionality of
connected equipment. Test results and sample-related data are not transferred.
