1 MicroScan LabPro Information Manager Antibiogram Export Tool Instructions Single Institution Format 2016 For use with LabPro version v4.42

2 Creating an Antibiogram from LabPro Data CLSI M39-A4 recommends annual preparation of a cumulative antibiogram report to assist physicians in empiric therapy decisions. The MicroScan LabPro System generates antibiogram reports according to the CLSI M39-A4 recommendations. The goal of this document and the associated template is to use the LabPro Export function in conjunction with Microsoft Excel, to create an antibiogram for a single institution. This antibiogram can then be formatted to suit the user s needs, and printed if desired. The following procedure will guide you through creating a query to gather your data in LabPro, creating an export format to export your gathered data to a removable media, and importing that data into an Excel template for analysis and printing of the antibiogram. Please note: This template is capable of handling 30,000 rows of data in the Raw and Working Data sheets. The formulas in this template are password protected, and are not visible to or changeable by the user. The organisms listed for creating your export from LabPro with identifications obtained from Beckman Coulter and/or Bruker Maldi Biotyperare the CLSI M39 A4 recommended organisms. The LabPro screen shots in these instructions may look slightly different than yours, depending on your software version. This will not impact your ability to create your antibiogram. The screen shots in these instructions represent Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Excel Microsoft Excel 2013 may also be used. It is important that only those software versions that have been validated and are supported be used when creating your antibiogram. The Single Site Antibiogram template has been validated and verified with these instructions as written. Do not deviate from the instructions, as this may result in inaccurate results. If you have any questions or need assistance with this process, call the MicroScan Customer Technical Solutions at

3 BEFORE YOU BEGIN- PLEASE READ THIS SECTION You will be exporting your data from your LabPro computer, and importing it onto another computer that is running Microsoft Windows and Excel. Microsoft Excel SHOULD NOT be loaded on your LabPro computer. On the Computer running Microsoft Windows and Excel, check the software versions and settings. 1. Use of the Antibiogram Export Tool requires Microsoft Excel 2010 or Microsoft Excel 2013 and Microsoft Windows 7. No other versions are supported.

On Your LabPro computer: 9. In Utilities>Customization>Reports>Formatting- verify that your Epidemiology Duplicate Isolate Time limit is set to 365 days and Any Source. 4

5 See Figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 Figure Note that isolates from specimens that have a status of preliminary in LabPro will not be exported or included in your LabPro printed antibiogram. It is advisable to query your data for preliminary specimens prior to exporting, and either delete or complete them. 11. If you have processed Proficiency Survey samples, ensure that those isolates have been flagged to be excluded from epidemiology. 12. From the Patient Order Entry screen create and run a query to find Proficiency Survey isolates not excluded from epidemiology. 13. Open Patient Order Entry from the LabPro Command Center, and if the Work List is not already open, click on Show/Hide Work List to open it. 5

6 Figure Click the radio button by Query, and then click the look up button. 15. Click + to create a new query. Figure 7 Figure Click, drag, and drop Specimen # parameter into the first cell that states To begin: drag a desired parameter to this cell. 6

7 Figure Using the look up button in the Specimen # From lookup box, and based on how survey samples are entered into your system, scroll to each survey sample, double click it, and then hit enter. This builds a list of the survey samples in the Selected Specimen # List. Figure When all survey samples have been listed, click and drag Test Group Status/Date, dropping it so that it is in a separate box from Specimen #. Click the calendar look ups to select appropriate From and To dates for your antibiogram, and hit enter. 7

Point to the right side of the User Defined column header, and click the black down arrow that will appear. Figure If YES is available, check it, and all User-defined organisms will then be listed. If YES is not available, there are no User Defined Organisms. Figure If you do not have User-defined organisms, proceed to the Exporting Your Data Section of these instructions. If you do have User-defined organisms continue to step Determine if your User-defined organisms have been in use during the time frame being used for this Antibiogram. If they have not, proceed to the Exporting Your Data Section of these instructions. Otherwise continue to step 27. 9

10 27. Compare the User-defined organisms in use in your lab to the list of organisms in Figure 17 below. Acinetobacter baumannii Citrobacter freundii Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus Enterobacter aerogenes Enterobacter cloacae Enterococcus faecalis Enterococcus faecium Enterococcus spp, not faecalis or faecium Escherichia coli Klebsiella oxytoca Klebsiella pneumoniae Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Methicillin Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Morganella morganii Proteus mirabilis Providencia species Pseudomonas aeruginosa Salmonella species Serratia marcescens Shigella species Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Streptococcus pneumoniae Figure If any of the User-defined organisms in use in your lab are equivalent to an organism on this list, print the User-defined Organism list. Click Data, then click Print. You will need to include these organisms in your LabPro query along with the other organisms listed on pages Also, these same User-defined organisms need to be added to the appropriate Epidemiology Organism Groups you will create on page 13, beginning at step 9. 10

11 Exporting Your Data 11

12 At the end of this entire process, it is recommended that you print the LabPro Antimicrobic % Interpretive Report and compare it to your exported antibiogram, verifying that the values on the two reports match each other. Steps 1-19 detail LabPro customization required to make this verification easier. The Antibiogram Export Tool automatically groups organisms as recommended in the CLSI M39-A4, Analysis and Presentation of Cumulative Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test Data. Customization of LabPro Epidemiology Organism Groups will be used to group the organisms on your LabPro Antimicrobic % Interpretive Report print out into these same groups. In this way, when the two reports are checked to ensure that they match each other, it will be much easier. This customization will be a two-step process, consisting of deleting any Epidemiology Organism Groups you currently have in your LabPro system, and then creating new ones. Your existing Epidemiology Organism Groups will first be printed, so that if desired, they can be recreated after the export process is complete. 1. On your LabPro computer, start at the desktop with the LabPro Command Center open. 2. From the LabPro Command Center, click on Utilities. Figure Click the + sign next to Customization. 4. Click the + sign next to Code Groups and then double click Epidemiology Organisms. 5. Click Data, and then Print. Save this printout for reference to recreate your existing Epidemiology Organism Groups. As you follow the steps below to create Epidemiology Organism groups, be sure to include in the appropriate Epidemiology Organism Group any User-defined organism names in use at your facility. Refer to the list you made on page 10 step Click the first Epidemiology Organism Group listed, and then click the Delete icon. 12

31 Import Instructions 31

32 This section provides instructions for taking the data that you have exported from LabPro and importing it into the MicroScan Antibiogram Export Tool 4.42 (2016) for analysis and printing of your antibiogram. Notes: * Save functions may take an extended amount of time depending on the amount of data and the speed of your computer. * It is recommended that each time you are creating your antibiogram, you download the template from the website to ensure you have the most updated version. * Before beginning the export process, make a copy of the Epidemiology Template that you downloaded from the website, and use the copy for this process. If you make a mistake, and have to begin again, make another copy of the original to use. * This template will be referred to as the Antibiogram Export Tool 4.42 (2016). * These instructions will detail creating a raw data sheet containing your export, as well as copying this data into another sheet for processing and analysis. 1. Download the Antibiogram Export Tool 4.42 (2016) from the Beckman Coulter MicroScan website, and save it to the hard drive of the computer in your lab that has Microsoft Excel. DO NOT load the template on to the LabPro computer. 2. Insert the media containing your LabPro export into this same computer.

Figure Right click on your mouse and choose Paste. 33. You will again have two header rows- Check once more that the header row that you have imported matches the header row of the sheet. This is a final check to verify that your imported antibiotics are in the correct order. Return to step 23 if these two header rows do not match. 34. If the header rows match, delete the second header row as in step A macro must be run to prepare your data for calculation. This macro will group the organism names in your export to the organism groups on the final M39 Gram Pos and M39 Gram Neg tabs, change IB interpretations to S, ESBL interpretations to R, etc. To run this macro, click View, and then click Macros. Figure The Macro window below appears. Click the first macro listed, ANTIBIOGRAM. See Figure

41 Figure Click Run. It has completed when the hour glass goes away. The length of time will depend on how much data you have. Usually not more than a couple of seconds. The Macro window will close. This is the only macro you need to run. Do not click on the other items in the list, and do not attempt to run this macro more than once! 38. If you included User-defined Organisms in your Query in LabPro, you must now find these organisms on the Working Data sheet, and change their names to one of the organisms in Figure 21 below. 39. Your data is currently sorted by organism name. Locate your User-defined organisms and rename. Spelling and spacing is critical. Methicillin Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus Streptococcus pneumoniae Enterococcus faecalis Enterococcus faecium Enterococcus spp. Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumoniae Klebsiella oxytoca Proteus mirabilis Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Enterobacter aerogenes Enterobacter cloacae Serratia marcescens Pseudomonas aeruginosa Acinetobacter baumannii Citrobacter freundii Morganella morganii Providencia species Salmonella species Shigella species Figure Save the file. This initiates the calculations for the M39 tabs. This may take some time depending on the amount of data in your workbook. You can monitor the progress at the bottom right of your computer screen. 41. When the calculations are complete, check your final out put on the M39 tabs. 41

42 42. Use the printed Antimicrobic % Interpretative Report to verify your results. 43. Review your final results. Check the following: The % susceptible for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, and Total Staphylococcus aureus versus Linezolid and Daptomycin. Resistance for these drug/bug combinations is uncommon The % susceptible for Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, and Enterococcus species versus daptomycin. The % susceptible for staphylococci and Streptococcus pneumoniae vs. vancomycin. The % susceptible for gram negative isolates versus tigecycline. Resistance for these drug bug combinations is uncommon. If your % susceptible for any of these combinations is less than 100%, and this is unexpected at your institution, you may want to investigate the validity of these results. When there is no I or R breakpoints defined, i.e. non susceptible, results have been calculated as resistant. Refer to the Working Data sheet. Use the specimen number in the last column as a reference for your investigation. You may delete these isolates from your Working Data sheet to not include them in the calculations, or modify the interpretation as appropriate. 44. The data on the M39-A4 Gram Pos and M39-A4 Gram Neg sheets can now be copied and pasted into another sheet in the workbook, where you can edit the formatting prior to printing. For example, you may want to remove antibiotics not used at your institution, add color or shading, etc. 45.
