[Histonet] bar coding specimens, slides, blocks

[Langenberg, Stacey]

We too use both the IPS and IPC. These are on such an open system we created our own LIS and now have barcoding from grossing to slide signout.

We have had a great deal of success using Leica's IPC and IPS cassette
and slide labelers.  We use Soft Path but I had heard that the Leica LIS
experts have experience interfacing with a number of LIS systems.  We
set these up basically as just another printer that is interfaced with
our LIS system.  The software within the Leica labelers produces the
cassettes and slides with any configuration of accession number and/or
bar code that you would like.  We chose to use 2d barcode to save space
on the cassette and slide.  We also print our ThinPrep slides this way.
Leica and Hologic got together to make sure we were able to use the
correct coding to use these slides on our ThinPrep Imager.

I am looking for a vendor that has the capability to barcode specimens,
blocks and slides.   Also if it can interface with Meditech client
server 6.0 it would be a plus.
