Usage windows
A lot is installed on a device and removed when replaced. Windows can be entered by hand or synchronised from the consumables register nightly.
Home / Platform / Lot traceability
Core platform
When the recall notice lands, have the list before the phone rings.
A reagent lot is withdrawn. Which analysers had it loaded, between which dates, and which patients' results were produced with it? Most services rebuild that from delivery notes and memory. Catenix keeps the usage windows as stock moves, so the answer is a query.
- Result to lots in one click
- Recall impact exported to CSV
- Nightly sync from the stock register
- Cost per test from real consumption
What it does
Lots, devices, results and money, joined up.
From a result to its lots
Open any result and see the reagent, control and calibrator lots that were on the analyser when it was produced.
From a lot to its results
Every result produced while a lot was in use, by device and date.
Recall impact
Open a recall against a lot, review the impact list of results, devices and patients, export it to CSV, and close the recall when the work is done.
Field safety notices
The FSN register in Quality Management matches notices to your lots and shows affected devices, controls and consumables from the live registers.
Quality management →Cost per test
Consumption and stock cost rolled up by device and analyte, for the business case and the budget round.
A recall, end to end
Four steps instead of a week.
Log the notice
Record the field safety notice and the lot pattern it covers.
See what is affected
Affected devices, controls and consumables appear from the live registers; the traceability view lists every result produced under the lot.
Act
Export the impact list, contact the right clinicians, quarantine the stock, and record the actions on the notice or a non-conformance.
Close and evidence
Close the recall. The notice, the impact list and the actions stay linked in the audit trail and the management-review pack.
A clear boundary
Catenix is connectivity, workflow, record-keeping and data display. It does not interpret results, calculate clinical values, classify or flag results clinically, or provide clinical decision support. Statistics describe methods, processes and datasets, never a patient. Any reference range or note shown is customer-authored content Catenix displays.
Questions, answered
The questions teams ask first.
How does Catenix know which lot was on the analyser?
Lots are installed on a device with a usage window, either by hand or synchronised nightly from the stock register, and removed when replaced. A result is matched to the lots whose windows cover its timestamp on that device.
What happens when a recall notice arrives?
Open a recall against the lot number. Catenix lists every result produced while that lot was in use, on which devices, for which patients, as an impact list you can export to CSV. The field safety notice register in Quality Management matches notices to lots with patterns such as AB* or ALL and shows affected stock and devices.
Can we see cost per test?
Yes. Consumption and stock cost roll up to a cost-per-test view by device and analyte.
Does this replace inventory?
No. Inventory tracks stock, lots and expiry by site and device. Traceability links those lots to results in time. They share the same register.
