2.1.4. Requisition and Specimen InformationThe requisition allows you to do different test panels on different patients, and still havethese patients all interpreted at once in a batch interpretation. Please see the Panelssection in the Tools menu (section 4.6 of this chapter) for more information on testpanels.Each sample you receive for a patient should be entered under a separate requisition,with one exception. PregSafe generally has a one-to-one–to-one relationship betweenrequisitions, test panel records and patient reports. Each requisition relates to one test(Panel) and one patient report. If you are doing first trimester screening for Downsyndrome and second trimester screening for OSB, you would enter two requisitions forthe patient, one for the first trimester Down syndrome panel and a second for the secondtrimester OSB panel. Each would have its own sample and there would be two reportsissued.The exception is composite screening. The composite screening panel includes tests onsamples drawn in both the first and second trimesters. In this case there are twosamples for one requisition, and only one report is generated which includes risks forboth Down syndrome and OSB (and Trisomy 18, SLOS and whatever other conditionsmay be included in the panel definition).15
