CELL-DYN ® 3200 System Operator's Manual
9140181H—October 2001
If the Instrument is configured for Code 128, the check digit feature is
automatically ON and the Instrument will:
a. read a Code 128 label.
If the check digit on the label matches the check digit calculated by the
Instrument, the "read" is good and the Work List is searched for a
matching bar code number in the Specimen ID field. If a matching entry
is found in the Work List, the entry details are displayed in the
Demographics section of the RUN screen. When the result is available, it
is saved in the Data Log and the entry is deleted from the Work List. If
no matching entry is found, the specimen is identified in the Data Log by
the tube bar code number in the Specimen ID field.
If the check digits do not match, the "read" is not good and a Check Digit
Error message is displayed on the Bulletin line. The Work List is not
searched. For SL models, the Rack and Tube # is assigned to the
Specimen ID field for that specimen in the Data Log. For CS models,
only the Sequence # is used to identify that specimen in the Data Log.
b. ignore all other bar code symbologies.
A Bar Code Error message is displayed on the Bulletin line and the Work
List is not searched. For SL models, the specimen is identified in the Data
Log by the Rack and Tube number assigned to the Specimen ID field by
the Instrument. For CS models, the specimen is identified in the Data Log
by the Sequence number only and the Specimen ID field is left blank.
