Lab specimen collection system eliminates label sorting.
Phlebotomists at the Jackson-Madison County General Hospital perform more than 18,000 venipunctures a month to collect blood specimens for laboratory tests. Because each of the blood draws involves handling five or six labels for the tubes that the blood is collected in, it means the hospital prints about 90,000 labels a month, which makesfor a lot of label sorting.
