Subject: Re: Labels on blood bottlesAgree with John, we run a similar labelling system here.AF----- Original Message -----From: [log in to unmask] href="mailto:[log in to unmask]">John RyanTo: [log in to unmask] href="mailto:[log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 7:47 PMSubject: Re: Labels on blood bottlesYes we do, except for group and save/cross match which is for risk management reasons. I thought what we did was fairly universal. We print 2 size labels however, one small set for blood tubes and a larger set for request forms though order coms will hopefully soon do away with these.John Ryan----- Original Message -----From: [log in to unmask] href="mailto:[log in to unmask]">Ray McGloneTo: [log in to unmask] href="mailto:[log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 06:48Subject: Labels on blood bottlesIs anyone out there using patient's labels on the blood investigation bottles. We are not allowed to use the ordinary labels by the lab... something about not fitting in the centrifuge or not being able to see the blood once spun down.So is anyone using labels produced by their computer system... to save on writing on all those bottles!ThanksRay McGlone
