BAR-CODE LABELING

BAR-CODE LABELING
IMPORTANT
1. Blood, scratches and powder from gloves reduces bar-code read rate. Keep the bar-code label free of
blood, scratches and powder from gloves to maintain a high-read rate.
2. Risk of misidentification. Do not use the tilde (~) character in demographics, including Specimen or
Patient ID.
Place the bar-code label on the sample tube.
Place the end of the label flush with the
r
stopper.
The bars on the label must be parallel to
r
the stopper. If the label is skewed more
than 5°, the scanner may not read it.
Do not cover the bottom of the tube
r
with the bar-code label. The tube may
jam in the carousel.
