Key know error® system features: Advanced Biopsy KitAll know error® system biopsy kits feature a unique patient identification bar code applied to the kit components. This helps reduce errors in the collection, handling, and processing of biopsy tissues. Forensic Chain of CustodyThe know error® system employs forensic chain of custody protocols, providing a means of control and documentation for the handling of samples. DNA Specimen Provenance Assay (DSPA)The know error® system features a DNA verification test that virtually eliminates diagnostic mistakes due to Specimen Provenance Errors (SPE). Conclusive ReportOnce a DNA test is complete, the forensics lab issues an electronic report (compatible with most EMR systems.)

The know error® system represents an important innovation in the process of evaluating biopsies, giving physicians an added measure of patient safety and diagnostic accuracy. Use of the system virtually eliminates the possibility that an error due to misidentification or sample contamination will result in an adverse patient outcome.
Pathology laboratories play a critical role in the highly complex process of evaluating biopsies. By incorporating the know error® system, labs can achieve a higher level of diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.
In an effort to receive the most accurate diagnosis possible, talk to your physician about utilizing the know error® system in the biopsy evaluation process. The system provides DNA confirmation between you and your biopsy tissue samples ensuring that, when your biopsy results arrive, the results belong to you.
