Enter the lot number and activity of the Co57 andCo58 labeled Vitamin B-12 capsules to be given to the patient. Next enter the total volumeof the urine collected over the test period. The aliquot volume is the volume used for thesamples counted in the well counter, and should not exceed the useful counting dimensionsof the well. A sample volume of 4 ml is a good sample volume for the well detector providedwith the CAPTUS® 2000 system. The aliquot volume must be the same for both the patient’ssample and the standard solution sample.Enter the counting time in seconds. Counting time should be sufficiently long to allow 10,000cumulative counts. 300 seconds is usually sufficient for adequate counts of even low activityurine samples. Enter the number of repetitions required. The samples may be counted forone or two repetitions. When two repetitions are chosen, each of the counting sequencescreens described below will appear twice. Each sample count will be labeled with theappropriate sample name, and Count #1 or Count #2. The counts will be averaged for eachsample. Enter the Tech ID in any combination of up to 8 alphanumeric characters.A comment section is available for free text input of up to 8,000 characters.

CANCEL will exit the screen without saving changes made to thepatient library screen. Since each ID must be unique to insure that results are always storedin the correct file, to save different DICOPAC Tests on the same patient requires an IDextension.
