Once the POCC defines the minimum and maximum limits through customization, the analyzer will then
only accept ID numbers that contain the specified number of digits.
What benefits does using Max/Min ID Length provide?
• It forces users to enter a specific ID length.
• It does NOT allow blank ID numbers when Minimum Length is set to one (1) or greater.
• It helps prevent the user from making ID entry errors such as missing digits or repeating digits.
5. Set Manual Entry Check Digits
What is a check digit? A Check Digit is a decimal (or alphanumeric) digit added to a number for the
purpose of detecting typical data entry errors.
How does this feature work? If a facility makes use of a supported Check Digit algorithm when creating
Operator or Patient IDs, the i-STAT 1 Analyzer can verify the entered ID format by calculating the check digit
and comparing it to the entered ID number. If the Check Digits don’t match, the ID is rejected.
note: The i-STAT System supports the Mod 10 and Mod 11 check digit algorithms described in the HL7
table 0061 (Check Digit Scheme) in the HL7 Specification (Rev 1.4). Please contact your LIS/HIS
or IT departments to help determine if your facility uses Check Digits in the creation of operator
and/or patient ID numbers, and if so, what algorithm is used.
What benefits does using Manual Entry check digits provide? It helps prevent users from making the
following ID entry errors:
• Interchanging adjacent digits (i.e. 67 becomes 76)
• Doubling the wrong digit (i.e. 445 becomes 455)
• Thinking an 8 is a 0 when reading a number from a wristband
• Omitting or adding a digit
6. Force Manual Repeat ID Entry
How does this feature work? This feature forces a user to manually enter an ID number twice. If the two
entries are not identical, the ID will not be accepted and the user must start again.
What benefits does repeat Manual Id Entry provide? The number of IDs to be corrected/edited by the
POCC in the Data Management system should theoretically decrease, as a user is less likely to type an ID
number wrong twice consecutively.
7. Force Scanned Repeat ID Entry
How does this feature work? This feature forces an i-STAT 1 analyzer user to scan an ID barcode number
twice. If the two entries are not identical, the ID will not be accepted and the user must start again.
What benefits does repeat Scanned Id Entry provide? The number of IDs to be corrected/edited by the
POCC in the Data Management system should theoretically decrease, as a user is less likely to scan an ID
number wrong twice consecutively.
