[Histonet] Tracking of blocks onto processors

[Hagon, Christopher (Health)]

Hi Histonetters,

Just wondering if or how others are tracking/scanning racks of blocks onto processors. In this day and age of traceability with barcodes, we scan each block in each rack before loading onto a processor and recording which processor that rack went on to. Has anyone got a more efficient way of doing this? Assigning at grossing/cut-up is an option, but is an extra step for the PA/registrar and relies on knowing which processor is in use that day.

Looking in the crystal ball, will next gen processors automatically scan blocks as the first step? Load blocks, start the run and it produces a report of the blocks on that run? Interested to hear peoples thoughts.

Cheers,
