Barcode read errors
WARNING
Patient misidentification due to barcode read errors
If a barcode is read incorrectly, this may lead to patient misidentification and therefore to
inappropriate therapy decisions.
Inadequate print size and/or quality of the barcode labels may lead to erroneous decoding.
r When creating patient barcodes, always adhere to the applicable international IEC/ISO
standards for the respective barcode symbology.
r In particular, ensure that barcode size and print quality (as defined in ISO/IEC 15416
and 15415) are adequate.
r In addition, every user must carry out a plausibility check on all data scanned into and
displayed by the analyzer.
Patient misidentification
WARNING
Patient misidentification due to entering a wrong patient or sample ID
If a wrong patient or sample ID is entered before sending a result to the LIS, this may lead
to patient misidentification and therefore to inappropriate therapy decisions.
r In the Worklist window, use always a barcode reader to enter patient or sample IDs.
r In the Worklist window, make sure to enter the correct patient or sample ID.
