Future ADAMS Release - Sample Specific Gravity (Confirmation Procedure)
Release 7 May 2019: In conformance with the TD2019DL it is possible to specify the Sample Specific Gravity (Confirmation Procedure) for Urine samples.
- For the CSV Import/Update file the column name sample_specific_gravity_CP is added: when a Urine Lab result is imported/updated with a date_received that is equal to or later than 1 March 2019 with a Test result = AAF/ATF, it is mandatory to provide a value for the Sample Specific Gravity (Confirmation Procedure).
- Note: the new field sample_specific_gravity_CP is different from and functionally NOT related to the existing field confirmed_specific_gravity that is exclusively associated with the Steroid Profile.
ADAMS Release June 2018
In conformance with TD2018CG/LH it will be possible to specify the details regarding the LH-analysis. Three optional fields will facilitate this:
- lh_analysis : which may assume one of the four values Negative / PAAF / ATF / blank. It is not mandatory to include neither the column name nor any value
- lh_concentration: is a numeric value (positive integer or a decimal with 1 digit after decimal point, e.g. 3 or 2.7)
- lh_lod: is a numeric value (positive integer or a decimal with 1 digit after decimal point, e.g. 3 or 2.7)
ADAMS 4.7.0
For IRMS performed on Urine samples: labs are able to indicate a dedicated Overall IRMS conclusion irrespective and independent from the overall Lab test result.
ADAMS Release 4.1.1 - changes as of 16 March 2016
For samples reported as of 16 March 2016 the following becomes effective, if the date received of the sample is after 1 January 2016:
- Urine lab results validity is calculated based on microbial contamination markers: these fields are mandatory if the date received is after 16 March 2016; Confirmation will be required
- Labs will have to indicate whether the TA approved or not the suspicious confirmation procedure request: this information is mandatory under certain conditions
- Presence/Absence of Confounding factors, as per ITP: this information is mandatory
- Confirmation of the presence of confounding factors: this information is mandatory
- δ values of IRMS Target Compounds, and associated uc: at least one is mandatory
- δ values of Endogenous Reference Compounds, and associated uc: one is mandatory (preferentially PDiol)
- IRMS Comments: free text (optional)
Important rules for the Update:
- if the initial value for a Confounding factor is set to "yes" , then for the Batch Update it will be enforced to provide a confirmed value
- if the date_received of the sample is on or after 16 March , the GC/C/IRMS conclusion (column irms_consistent) no longer applies
- if results with a date_received before 1 Jan 2016 are updated with new IRMS details (target compounds, endogenous reference compounds, confounding factors etc), the system will require complete relevant details
ADAMS 4.1 - the anticipated changes as of 1 January 2016:
The following will be effective as of the start date of the TD2016EAAS & TD2016IRMS Reporting in 2016.
- Sample collection date is mandatory if the sample is received after the start date of the TD2016EAAS & TD2016IRMS Reporting in 2016
Each sample record in the CSV/XML file should contain at least the mandatory fields. Once the update is triggered for the sample record in the input file, ADAMS will look for the corresponding result record in the database, based on the unique identification of 5 fields: sample code, sample type, sample AB, Lab name, date received.
As a general rule, each time an update is proposed for a result record in the database, ADAMS will validate on mandatory fields and business rules as they are prevalent on the Lab results page. ADAMS will apply the validity-check on the resultant of the value in the database and the value in the input file.
Below are comments on updatable fields (for the CSV file the sequence of the columns is not relevant).
