Description
Check three recorded flags for biopsy-tissue availability.
Biopsy records separate specimen location, recorded remaining material and permission to release it. Those assertions address different parts of a tissue-availability workflow; a true flag combination still depends on accurate source records. Availability alone does not establish specimen identity, adequacy for a test or appropriate clinical use.
Check three recorded flags for biopsy-tissue availability.
When to use this tool
Use Biopsy Tissue Availability Flag when you already have specimenLocated, remainingMaterialRecorded, releasePermissionRecorded and need to check three recorded flags for biopsy-tissue availability.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter specimenLocated, remainingMaterialRecorded, releasePermissionRecorded. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read availableUnderFlags. Inspect availableUnderFlags before interpreting the associated values.
Return specimenLocated && remainingMaterialRecorded && releasePermissionRecorded.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| specimenLocated | Specimen Located | Required. Boolean. |
| remainingMaterialRecorded | Remaining Material Recorded | Required. Boolean. |
| releasePermissionRecorded | Release Permission Recorded | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| availableUnderFlags | All three supplied flags are true; no specimen inventory or release system is queried. | Required. Boolean. |
{
"input": {
"specimenLocated": true,
"remainingMaterialRecorded": true,
"releasePermissionRecorded": true
},
"output": {
"availableUnderFlags": true
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Flags are supplied assertions; the tool does not locate tissue, verify adequacy, establish release authority or determine actual availability.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile the original specimen inventory, remaining-material record and release documentation when actual availability matters. Keep those checks separate from assay requirements and clinical interpretation; this helper combines supplied flags only.
