FOR EFFICIENCY AND
TRACEABILITY IN
SAMPLE COLLECTIONVACUETTE® + MINICOLLECT®
Pre-Barcoded Tubes
Increasing safety by minimizing patient sample
mix-ups, reducing the complexities of sample
collection to improve efficiency and shorten TATs.

Globally standardized
barcodes for compatibility withinstrumentation vendors.

Ensuring the bestbasis for digitalizationof preanalytical andanalytical processes.

PRE-BARCODED TUBESFOR TRACEABILITY
Duringtheproduction
process, VACUETTE® andMiniCollect®
Completepre-barcoded tubes arelabelled with a code 128
10-digit barcode for unique
identification as well as a2D datamatrix, ensuring
complete
traceability
from manufacturing up toanalysis in the laboratory.
The precise barcode positioning on the label is in accordance with CLSI AUTO2-A2.

Used as part of an electronic health system, time
consuming and error-prone
manual labelling is a thing of
the past.
Preventing simple errors
during the preanalyticalphase, such as mislabelling a tube, can be crucial.
A mislabelled tube could
be assigned to the wrong
patient, potentially resulting in a misdiagnosis andincorrect therapy.

Benefits of a pre-barcoded tube
as part of a software solution:/ Transparency & traceability/ Fewer manual steps, smaller
window for error/ No need for printed requests,
saving on printer hardware
and paper/ The tube is pre-labelled withthe barcode in the optimal
position for reading byanalysers and instruments,
greatly reducing the chancesof sample rejection in the lab

Evidence shows that
more than 70% oferrors in bloodprocessing are
made during thepreanalytical phase.**Lippi G, Salvagno GL, Montagnana M, Lima-Oliveira G, Guidi GC, Favaloro EJ. Quality standards for sample collection in coagulation
testing. Semin Thromb Hemost. 2012 Sep;38(6):565-75. doi: 10.1055/s-0032-1315961. Epub 2012 Jun 5. PMID: 22669757

VACUETTE® Blood Collection Tubes

100% TRACK& TRACEWORLDWIDE

WHAT COMMON ERRORS CAN BE PREVENTED
DURING THE PREANALYTICAL PROCESS BY USING
A PRE-BARCODED TUBE?
/ Incorrectly labelled tubes/ Labels in wrong position,
obstructing sample/ Patient identification
missing or wrong/ Missing data, e.g. timeof collection or name ofphlebotomist
By using Greiner Bio-One’s
pre-barcoded tubes, specimens are assigned immediately to a patient by a scan.

Used in conjunction with appropriate software, the datain the barcode indicates if atube is expired, or if a wrong
order of draw has occurred
and warns the user. Furthermore, tubes need no longer
be manually labelled, risking
obstructionofsample,
as the tubes are provided
with the label already in the
optimal place for instrumentation. Sample rejection by the lab means thatblood collection needs to berepeated, causing consid-from production tosample disposalerable delays in diagnosis.
Greiner Bio-One provides abroad pre-barcoded solution,with not only blood collection tubes but also urine
collection tubes and MiniCollect® Complete tubes,
to cover every need. MiniCollect® Complete tubes forcapillary blood collection
have a standard dimensionof 13x75mm making themsuitable for automation andcompatible with most instrumentation vendors.
