CLSI | 2003 | 11 |
This specification specifies the way bar coded sample
identification labels are applied to clinical specimen containers.
It documents the form, placement, and content of bar code labels on
specimen tubes that are used on clinical laboratory analyzers. It
enables Laboratory Information System vendors to produce reliable
bar coded symbols that are readable by any complying clinical
laboratory analyzer vendor.
This specification is intended to apply to all clinical settings
where specimens are collected from patients for examination or
analysis in health care laboratory operations. It is complementary
to, and extends, the Health Industry Business Communication Council
(HIBCC). The document covers requirements that include the
symbology, print quality measurement (wavelength of light), module
width, symbol size, placement and orientation of the label, and
data form and content.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for
information only.
