It was reported that the acl top 750 las analyzer incorrectly read a patient sample bar code on (b)(6) 2022.The operator was reviewing outstanding requests on the lis and no results were present for sample number (b)(6) on lis.The operator removed the physical tube and viewed the barcode label, the sample that had read as (b)(6) on the acl top sample list was actually eye-readable as (b)(6).On checking the general log for the period on time involved, there was no non-identified sample error recorded during this time.Sample id (b)(6) had no demographic uploaded to acl top from hemohub.The operator reprinted the bar codes for each sample number and loaded on the acl top.Both sample barcodes read correctly.No patient impact.
