The know error® system to be featured this week at the South Central Section of AUA's Annual Meeting

The know error® specimen security system is being showcased this week at the Annual Meeting of the South Central Section of the American Urological Association (AUA).   The meeting is being held October 14-17, 2009, at the Camelback Inn, JW Marriott Resort, in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Look for us at Booth #151 in the exhibit hall. 

The know error® specimen security system, introduced in 2009 by Diagnostic ID, LLC,  provides a solution to finding biopsy identity switches by incorporating both an error reduction system and DNA fingerprinting technology. The know error® system employs patient-specific bar-coding for the purpose of reducing errors and forensic DNA fingerprinting for the purpose of preventing errors. 

The know error® system uncovers patient identification errors by matching tissue from a positive biopsy result to a reference sample taken from the patient via a simple cheek swab to confirm that the tissue belongs to the patient.  By performing DNA matching prior to treatment, the know error® specimen security system assures that biopsy switching errors will be detected prior to any adverse patient outcomes.
