Manual Test Configurations
Manual test configuration allows the creation of custom manual/lateral flow test setups in the RALS™ SYSTEM that can then be used to enter manual test results directly into the RALS™ SYSTEM or through devices which support manual test entry. Each test has multiple result values that vary by test type which can be setup and customized on this page. A manual test configuration can be created per device type and institution.
