Pre-analytical Systems
SprintLab
SprintLab is an automated test tube sample labelling system.
The system prepares labels and test tubes for patients at the collection point, reception and at ward according to the information received from the LIS.
The system has been designed to manage the blood collection process in order to eliminate human error from the pre-analytical phase with greater efficiency for the entire analysis process.
SprintLab is handled by an Internal PC with 6.4" LCD touch-screen colour display. It is equipped with 2 printers:
- with dispensers to label test tubes and with cutters
- to print additional labels for sample containers not directly handled by the systems
The barcode reader can be used to collect patient information in order to produce the required labelled test tubes and additional labels.
The lower module of the system is composed of 3 extractable trays, each one containing 3 racks for tubes of different sizes, for a total of 9 racks. The racks can hold 50 tubes (13 mm) or 40 tubes (16 mm). Tubes, placed in the appropriate racks, are automatically picked up, labelled and gathered in the collection area for each patient. The number of tubes available is automatically updated. The complete set of labelled test tubes and additional labels are gathered into the final collection area.
