We are in the process of bringing Ortho's Vision Swift online.  One of the things we would like to do is put unit confirmations on it.  We've had an issue when we used the labels from the back of the units to put on the sample tubes.   Apparently there is a number on the labels from the back that is different from the front label.  This is causing us trouble when we try to put units on the Vision for retyping.

Has anyone encountered this and found a way around it?

We have found them to be different.  The suppler has confirmed this.

Unfortunately, the Vision requires the flag characters.  I do not know why.

At our facility (MEDITECH User), when we bring units into inventory, the LIS automatically orders a retype test (front type only) and generates a specimen barcode label. That is matched up to the unit and is placed on the specimen tube that is loaded on the analyzer (we use IMMUCOR ECHO Lumena). The LIS programs the analyzer just like any other patient specimen and results are transmitted back to the LIS when complete. This is a very efficient system. Have you considered that route?

I believe our middleware does the conversion.. We're on an older safetrace version.  The only issue we have with donor confirmations is when you get multiple containers per unit #.  They have to be manually programmed or done by hand and entered into BBLIS.

We run those units one at a time so we can select the matching unit in utilities to bring the results in. THEN we run the 2nd unit. Kind of a hassle if you don't notice that you have a double red. And since we don't often get both units from a double red collection, we usually don't notice until the Echo yells at us about a duplicate specimen. Gotta have something to keep us on our toes I guess!
