Reason

Radiometer has received reports of occurrences on devices similar to the ABL80 where barcode reader has misinterpreted the contents of a barcode for patient ID or accession number used for e.g. sampler identification. The occurrences relate to barcode types not using a check digit, which have been printed locally. A check digit enables the barcode reader to validate the data read by calculating the checksum, and hence, to capture if the barcode has been misinterpreted and consequently to reject such data.
