SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE ASSOCIATION OF RESULTS OF ANALYSIS PERFORMED ON BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES, IN PARTICULAR BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES SUBJECTED TO CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS, WITH PRE- ANALYTICAL VARIABLES TO WHICH THOSE SAMPLES ARE EXPOSED

摘要

It is described a method and a system for controlling biological samples acquired at least at one retrieval site and intended to be subjected to clinical analysis at an analysis site, wherein at least one population of said biological samples is placed in respective collection units in a pre-analytical phase and transported from a retrieval station to an analysis station. A probe collection unit includes sensor means for the acquisition of transport parameters, and associated it is to the population of biological samples during transport from the retrieval station to said analysis station, so as to be substantially exposed to the transport conditions to which said population of biological samples is subjected. A database system processes an associative relationship between the identification data of at least one population of biological samples associated with at least one retrieval site of samples and at least one respective sampling time, measurement data of the transport parameters of the population of biological samples detected by the acquisition sensors of the transport parameters of the probe collection unit in the transport from the retrieval station to the analysis station, and the result data from clinical analysis carried out on the population of biological samples at an analysis site.
