Labeling Solutions For Medical Labs
Generally speaking, medical labs that deal with patient samples are pretty well organized. Occasions in which patients receive incorrect information regarding their health are few, but yet they do occur. One website is on a mission to make sure that this never happens by providing labeling solutions for medical labs. General Data, a leading provider of specialized labeling and identification solutions, today unveiled a new website. The new site is dedicated to educating healthcare organizations on the benefits of using bar code technology in the lab to help enhance patient safety, prevent medical errors and increase efficiencies.
The site also demonstrates how General Data?s patent-pending StainerShield technology provides positive sample and specimen identification, even through tissue processors and slide stainers. StainerShield is a family of products for the lab that offers a complete closed-loop system for bar code identification of tissue cassettes and slides. StainerShield labels are formulated to withstand repeated and extended exposures to harsh chemicals, solvents, and stains, such as xylene, ethanol, and hematoxylin without degrading or separating from the slide. Labs can effectively utilize bar code technology with StainerShield to streamline lab workflow and positively identify and track all specimens, from accessioning to grossing, through staining, checkout, review and archiving.
?Busy labs need an efficient, error-free workflow, and bar code technology is a proven and cost-effective choice,? said Ralph Moher, director of corporate marketing and communications at General Data. ?Bar codes have demonstrated in a number of industries to be an effective way to track items, manage data, eliminate errors, and improve efficiencies. Now, medical labs can incorporate the technology into their workflow to take advantage of all of the previously mentioned benefits, and more importantly, to prevent medical errors and increase patient safety.?
