Patient identification

Incorrect or missing patient IDs are some of the most frequent – and critical – errors in blood gas testing, leading to resampling, or worse, misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment.

What if you could ensure correct patient-sample match at the bedside and thus correctly identified results? With Radiometer’s safePICO syringes, you can do exactly that.

All safePICO syringes are prebarcoded, making it easier and faster for your clinicians to ensure correctly identified results. Simply let the caregivers scan the barcode on the safePICO directly at the bedside and link it together with the patient ID. At the analyser, the sample is automatically recognised and connected to the correct result. The result: No more risk of patient-sample mix-ups.
