USI (Unique Specimen Identifier): Innovation throughout the entire pre-analytical phase

The challenge: Accuracy and efficiency in the healthcare sector
In the dynamic environment of hospitals and laboratories, where speed and precision are essential, a small human error can have major consequences. A mislabelled patient sample can lead to incorrect diagnoses and treatments with potentially serious consequences.
In addition to these risks in sample processing, paper records also pose a challenge. They are time-consuming, error-prone and hinder a smooth digital workflow. Therefore, an optimised and error-free identification process in the pre-analytical phase is essential.

The solution: unique barcoding of all collection materials throughout the entire pre-analytical phase.
With the Unique Specimen Identifier, we introduce an advanced approach for the identification and traceability of patient samples.
Our unique barcode solutions ensure:
- Complete Traceability: Traceability based on lot numbers, expiration dates and unique barcodes with integrated classification links.
- Flawless identification: Thanks to a unique link between the collection materials and the patient.
- GDPR compliance: Full protection of patient data with anonymous and secure labeling.
