MGIT 960 Instrument Reports

The MGIT 960 offers a variety of reports which may be helpful in your daily workflow. Examples of these reports can be found in your binder.

The Unloaded Positives report will list all the positive tubes removed from the instrument since the last time the report was printed (up to a maximum of 500 positive, negative and ongoing tubes). This report could serve as a worksheet to document ZN stain results. It could help you account for every positive tube that was removed and ensure each was stained accordingly.

The Unloaded Negatives report will list all of the negative tubes removed from the instrument since the last time the report was printed. The same maximum tube capacity applies. This report may be helpful when reporting out-of-protocol negatives.

At times, ongoing tubes may need to be removed from the instrument to make room for newly processed tubes. (NOTE: If you need to remove ongoing tubes early, be sure to remove the oldest tubes first). The Unloaded Ongoing report can help you so that all tubes are tracked and reported appropriately. When the report printing is confirmed, the records for these unloaded tubes are removed (deleted) from the system. This is why you will be asked to confirm that the report successfully prints.

The instrument inventory report will give you a printout of all tubes in the instrument and their current status. This is a less frequently used report.

The Quality Control report lists the status of all of the detectors and the date and time of their last verification. This report also lists all manually blocked stations in the instrument. Some accounts print this report daily. This report may be useful for complying with local inspecting agencies.
