Bar code reader
In accordance with Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) document AUTO02-A2, a
sample is identified by a bar code, which is read during transport to or from the CAR.
For reliable sample identification, bar codes on sample tubes are read in addition to CAR
detection at AccessPoints.
The bar code reader is a Class 2 Laser product with approximately a 100% reading rate, which
requires correct alignment and good quality of the bar codes according to CSLI document
AUTO02-A2. The bar code reader is a Class 2 embedded laser but is Class 1 as installed on the
GLP systems Track.
The following bar code types can be read individually or in combination with each other:
Codabar
Code 39
Code 128
Interleaved 2 of 5
Samples with unrecognized bar codes are routed to a designated area.
CAUTION: Incorrectly assigning a bar code may constitute a health hazard for patients.
Illegible or incorrectly assigned bar codes cause incorrect patient results. Bar codes with
checksums are recommended on the laboratory automation system.
NOTE: Contact an Abbott Laboratories representative or an authorized service representative to
configure the bar code reader for different bar code types.
