Inform II / Cobas pregnancy and fecal occult entry

Is anyone using Roche's Inform II glucometers for entry of fecal occult and pregnancy test results? I have read through the Cobas user documentation for these features and am very curious about them; the documentation doesn't provide a lot of details. 

Does Cobas manage lot numbers for those tests? Or do users have to hand-type test kit lot numbers into the devices for every single test? If Cobas can manage the lot numbers and users only have to select a result, that could be fantastic for reducing our paperwork. If staff have to punch in lot numbers, I think that might be more difficult than the paperwork system we currently use.

Ken,
I think it meant using Roche's Cobas IT software, not through their glucometers.

No, I mean through the Inform II glucometers. There is a feature in cobas to enable entry of fecal occult and pregnancy test results via the Inform II's. The user documentation is thin and I haven't had an opportunity yet to experiment; I was hoping others had used this feature and could list the pros and cons for me as I investigate ways to streamline our ER preg and fobt testing paperwork.
