1 Secondary Labels for Easy and Accurate Identification of BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Blood Collection Tubes Where positive identification meets safe, efficient patient care.

2 When it comes to patient safety and efficient lab operations, positive ID of blood collection tubes is mission critical. But identification affects more than safety and efficiency it impacts virtually every aspect of the clinical care environment, including patient satisfaction, care quality and more. According to the College of American Pathologists (CAP), approximately 169,000 adverse events occur in U.S. hospitals annually due to sample identification errors, with 55% of all specimen ID errors stemming from a primary specimen labeling error. Acknowledging this risk, one of the Joint Commission s top National Patient Safety Goal s standards is to label containers used for blood and other specimens in the presence of the patient. Secondary Labels, along with BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Tubes, provide correct label placement the first time and every time! So you can ensure accurate identification and an optimal healthcare experience for patients and staff alike. Misaligned Labels Increase the Risk of ID Errors The lack of consistent and easy labeling guides on standard labels often results in misaligned tube labels. Improper labeling reduces efficiency in the lab resulting in extra time, work and additional expenses. Misaligned labels can also cause: Patient ID errors that negatively impact quality of care and patient safety Reduced productivity and process efficiency Poor bar code scanning quality Patient sample re-draws, reducing patient satisfaction Readability errors with analyzers Re-labeling of blood collection tubes, wasting time and money Operational issues that frustrate clinicians and impact staff satisfaction before Get the Simple Solution for Accurate Labeling & ID Secondary Labels provide quick, easy and accurate identification of BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Tubes. The V-shaped notch aligns with the colorcoded notch and sidebar to provide: Consistent & Easy Labeling Guides Accurate & Reliable Bar Code Scanning Quicker Test Results Operational Efficiencies That Save Time & Money Increased Clinician Satisfaction Patient Safety & Satisfaction Accurate ID Ability to Identify Tube Type Even When Cap is Removed after 2

3 Customer Success Stories University of Kentucky Prior to using, our staff was forced to re-label more than 90% of our test tubes. Now that we re using, we re relabeling fewer than 10%. Plus, we re experiencing significant time and cost savings.
