Reason for recall
If a user requests slides from the LIS or TPID, then updates a request by changing the test, the TRD software will reject the update. The LIS and printed slide label will display the updated test with the requested change, but the Omnis system will execute the initial test, not reflecting the change. The system will not warn the user that the test request was rejected.
