Version 10.1.13 of Maciel Prenatal Interpreter is now available.

Various bug fixes and small features relating to validation and LIMS migration are rolled up into this cumulative update for the 10.1 release cycle.

This version is recommended for all users of MPI 10. Download the update installer here.

Version 10.1.0 of Maciel Prenatal Interpreter is now available.

This release introduces integrated risk calculation for Down syndrome, activated by checking an Integrated box on a given Sample.

• First-trimester samples: if Integrated is checked, no FDS risk is calculated, and the IF blurb is produced on the report.
• Second-trimester samples: if Integrated is checked, the most recent first-trimester sample’s MoM values are combined with the second-trimester’s MoM values to compute FDS risk, using the configured Integrated statistical parameter set.

The only choice for an Integrated parameter set is currently SURUSS.

More details are in the updated Calculation Reference and in the Help menu.

Bug fixes and other small features include:

• Fixed: When changing the list of markers in a sample, an error message prevented continuing. (#1206)
• Fixed: Extra information printed in the Physician Sample Report when Down syndrome risk was suppressed.
• Added File > Close command.

This version is recommended for all users of MPI 10. Download the update installer here.

• Customize the Physician Sample Report template within MPI
• Add and save comments when you make a new median or weight correction record
• Choose whether to select available LIMS import files instead of importing all available ones – useful in multi-user workflows.

• Added support weeks to the median regression dialog for medians in weeks 10 and 11 . (#869)

And issues fixed include:

• Archiving old records from a database can, in some circumstances, change the ordering of the median table, which can result in wrong medians being used. (#871)
• Fixed the Physician Sample Report wording to distinguish twins from triplets or more. (#876)
• The tailored setting to require user-customizable IDs to be unique was not enforced. (#878)
• Fixed clipboard support in the License Request dialog. (#858)

• Issues viewing old imported comments (#887) and assigning comments to repeat samples (#886 – in 9.8c)
• Median calculation doesn’t exclude diabetic patients correctly when selected (#895 – in 9.8d)
• The spacing is improved in graphs printed on the Physician Sample Report (#884 – in 9.8d)

This version is recommended for all users, particularly if you archive patient records. Download the installer here.

Version 9.7 of Maciel Prenatal Interpreter is now shipping. New features for this version include:

• Re-importing only changed data from a previous version, to make it easier to upgrade to version 9 in stages. (#720)

• The a priori T18 risk can now be added to the Physician Sample Report. (#808)
• Made the patient’s smoking status easier to access (#825) and allowed it to be added to the Physician Sample Report (#826).

And issues fixed include:

• Changed ONTD bracketing to use the same range used for other risks. (#807)
• Don’t remove the ONTD graph from the Physician Sample Report just because there’s no ONTD risk, as long as there’s a MoM. (#831)
• Update records after LIMS output according to tailoring question 21c. (#814)
• Fixed several formatting and validation issues with LIMS import and export. (#809, #819, #820, #821, #832)
