The auto-ID module supports an optional auto-ID handheld scanner that can be used to scan a patient's ID,
medication labels, and clinician badges. The auto-ID module and auto-ID handheld scanner read printed
barcodes which are within the barcode print quality guidelines specified by ANSI X 3.182, CEN EN 1635,
and ISO/IEC 15416 international standards. Some manufacturer-applied barcodes on IV bags are
not compliant with these quality standards and
might not be readable with the auto-ID module and auto-ID
handheld scanner. Refer to the Auto-ID Label Guidelines for more detailed barcode label information.
