Specific Benefits of BC ROBO 888 for the Laboratory
- Reducing Human Errors in Labeling: Accurate sample identification is essential for reliable laboratory results. BC ROBO automates the selection and labeling of blood collection tubes by communicating directly with our laboratory information systems (LIS/HIS). This automation eliminates the possibility of manual errors in the pre-analytical phase, ensuring that each tube is correctly labeled with the patient and test information requested.
- Preventing Waste of Labels and Tubes: With the automation provided by BC ROBO, there is a more efficient use of materials, such as labels and tubes, significantly reducing waste and contributing to the operational sustainability of the laboratory.
- Increased Productivity and Efficiency: BC ROBO is capable of processing up to 360 patient kits per hour, automatically selecting and labeling the tubes needed for each test. This processing capacity streamlines our workflow, allowing our team to focus on more complex and analytical tasks, increasing overall laboratory productivity.
- Standardization and Compliance: Standardization in tube labeling ensures compliance with laboratory and regulatory protocols, ensuring that each sample is processed according to established standards.
Impact on Quality of Patient Care
The implementation of BC ROBO not only optimizes our internal processes, but also improves the quality of patient care. By reducing errors and increasing efficiency in sample preparation, test results are made available more quickly and accurately, increasing patients' confidence in our services and contributing to faster and more assertive diagnoses.
