Duplicate Barcodes
If the “Flag Duplicate Samples” option is enabled in the system configuration, the PROCLEIX
®
TIGRIS System identifies a barcode as a “duplicate” if it is run in more than one worklist of the
same assay type on the same instrument.
When a duplicate barcode error is identified, follow the prompts in the Fix Racks
window to
resolve the error.
1. From the Fix Racks
window, determine which tube in the appropriate rack is a duplicate.
The error message indicates the barcode number, worklist ID, rack number, test
number, and date and time that the barcode had previously been processed.
Refer to the Quality Control Procedures and Interpretation of Results sections of the
appropriate PROCLEIX
®
Assay package insert for more information about when a
specimen may be retested.
2. To resolve the error, either replace the tube with another one or click on the error message
to allow the test to process.
3. After resolving all duplicate barcode errors, click Rescan.
Note: Sample barcodes are not tracked between multiple PROCLEIX
®
TIGRIS Systems.
Note: Scans of the same ISBT 128 barcode are not flagged as duplicates if the ISBT 128
Special Characters setting on the Barcode Configuration
screen is different for each scan.
To avoid having to modify the ISBT 128 Special Characters setting, ensure that it is
configured appropriately from the beginning.
Note: If a manually entered (typed) ISBT 128 barcode is not identical to what is stored in
the system from a previous scan of that barcode, they are not flagged as duplicates. When
manually entering a previously scanned ISBT 128 barcode, enter the exact barcode as it is
stored in the system, based on the required barcode configuration settings of the testing
site.
