3000 Processor Operator’s Manual

Duplicate Barcode

Reprocessing Required

The instrument has detected two sample vials in the batch with the same sample identification num-
ber (barcode). The sample with the duplicate identification number will not be processed. No slide is
made from the vial bearing the duplicate barcode.

Possible Causes

• Duplicate barcode labels were inadvertently applied to different sample vials in the same

batch.

Corrective Action

1. The batch report indicates the position of the sample vial under Reprocessing Required listing as

Duplicate Barcode. Compare the barcode number of the flagged sample vial to the barcode num-
bers of the other sample vials processed.

Note:

It is important that both vials with the identical sample ID be removed from the sample tray
and marked with their tray position. The slide processed from the first incidence of this num-
ber is then associated with the first sample vial. (The instrument
always processes samples vials in ascending order from posi-
tion A1 to B40. The first occurrence of the identical sample ID
number will always be at an earlier tray position and a slide
will have been made.) The patient information must be checked
and reconciled for both vials.

2. The second sample needs to be reprocessed, as no slide was made.

Following the reconciliation of the patient information with the
correct vials, apply a new barcode label to the second vial and
insert it into a new batch to be processed.

Note:

Do not stack labels. Attempt to remove the old barcode label. If
it cannot be removed, completely obliterate the barcode with a
permanent marker or pen. Place the new barcode label else-
where on the vial.

3. If this error persists with subsequent batches, contact Hologic Tech-
