Why choose on-demand printing over batch printing?

In pathology labs, even small labeling errors can have serious consequences for patient safety. A study conducted by Henry Ford Hospital revealed that traditional batch printing and hand labeling can result in significant mislabeling rates—21% for slides and 5.7% for cassettes. However, by transitioning to on-demand printing, these errors were dramatically reduced by 95% for slides and 3.5% for cassettes.

In this application note, Statlab explains how the StatLab PiSmart Cassette and Slide Printers are designed to minimize human error, improve efficiency, and enhance traceability in your lab.

By integrating on-demand printing into your workflow, you can:

• Reduce mislabeling errors and improve patient safety
• Streamline workflow efficiency with faster, automated processes
• Simplify staff training with an easy-to-use interface
• Enhance documentation by updating SOPs, work instructions, and checklists
• Improve tracking and connectivity with LIS integration and PathSmart software
