Background: Several sites in VISN 23 are in need of replacement and/or additional cassette and slide label printers. Fargo and Iowa City’s current cassette and slide label printers have reached end of their life expectancy and we have begun to see an increase in issues that require a service call. The increased downtime of these machines greatly impacts the speed and efficiency of the labs in preparing specimens. Additionally, the labs are seeking newer models of equipment which have additional features that would increase the speed and efficiency of the staff in preparing specimens. Central Iowa is currently hand labeling their cassettes and slides and is in need of this equipment to maximize productivity, decrease ergonomic strain, reduce errors, and create continuity.
Purpose of Project: Obtain 3 new cassette printers and accessories (1 each for Central Iowa, Iowa City, and Fargo) and 8 new slide label printers (4 for Iowa City and 2 each for Central Iowa and Fargo).
