STAIN-RESISTANT LABELS FOR THE LABORATORY

Facts
- Patient identification errors occur in about 1 percent of laboratory samples and approximately 1 in 18 sample identification errors lead to an adverse event.
- Each year, there are 160,900 adverse events in U.S. hospitals because of sample identification errors.
- These incidents have a significant financial impact, with redraws, retesting and additional treatment costing the healthcare industry $200 to $400 million annually.

The durability of the labels utilized in the laboratory is a critical component of your patient safety system. If the label becomes unreadable, unscannable or falls off during testing, it can cause a sample identification error that could lead to an adverse event, re-testing, redraws and additional treatment. The Zebra® Z-Xtreme™ 5000T, coupled with our Image Lock™ ribbon, was designed to withstand the most common stains and chemicals found in laboratories—ensuring that the label does not discolor and the text and bar code remain readable and scannable during the label’s useful life.
