i-STAT Alinity — System Operations Manual
If a facility uses a supported check digit algorithm when creating operator or
patient IDs, the i‑STAT Alinity can verify the entered ID format by calculating
the check digit and comparing it to the entered ID number. If the check digits
do not match, the ID is rejected.
Note: The i‑STAT Alinity System supports the Mod 10 and Mod 11
check digit algorithms described in the HL7 Table 0061 (Check Digit
Scheme) in the HL7 Specification (Rev 1.4). Contact your LIS/HIS or IT
departments to determine if your facility uses check digits in the
creation of operator and/or patient ID numbers, and if so, which
algorithm is used.
Allowable values are:
No check digit on manual
entry
Mod 11 check digit on manual
entry
Mod 10 check digit on manual
entry
Whether to use a check digit when scanning a value to create an operator or
patient ID.
No check digit on scan entry
Mod 11 check digit on scan
entry
Mod 10 check digit on scan
entry
