Use of Generic ADT Labels
Generic ADT Labels are used for:
- Anatomic pathology
- Lost Lab Ready Labels
- Damaged Lab Ready Labels
- Point of Care Testing when the specimen is taken out of the room/area to be run
- Downtime
- Patient belongings
Printing
- Generic ADT Labels can be printed more than once as these labels originate from eStar
VUMC ID and Collection Information
When eStar is operational:
- Do not write on the Generic ADT Label
- The collector's VUMC ID and collection information is captured through the scanning process and eliminates the need to write on the label
When eStar is in downtime:
- Generic ADT Labels are used during downtime to label specimens, downtime forms, etc.
- Only during downtime will the individual who collected the specimen write their VUMC ID, date and time of the collection on the label
- Please see the Downtime Labels section on this website for further information
E-Requisition is Required with a Generic ADT Label
- An E-requisition must accompany all specimens labeled with a Generic ADT Label to the lab
- Once the "Complete Order" is selected in eStar, the E-requisition is automatically printed
- No additional written information is required on the printed E-requisition
