The know error® system for breast biopsies will be participating at the Society of Breast Imaging's (SBI) next course -- Practical Breast MRI: Case Based Review." The course takes place January 28 - 29, 2012 at the Hilton Bonnet Creek Hotel in Orlando, FL. Look for our tabletop display in the registration area.

Know Error develops and markets the know error® system for breast biopsies which utilizes bar coding, forensic principles and DNA matching to confirm that the biopsy samples being evaluated belong to the patient being diagnosed. Available for a diverse range of tissue types, including breast, the know error® system brings new levels of patient safety and diagnostic accuracy to the biopsy evaluation process.

Since the company's launch in 2009, hundreds of physicians in a variety of specialties have incorporated the know error® system as a standard for their patient care. To learn more about the know error® system for breast biopsies, visit our website www.knowerror.com.

The know error® system for breast biopsies is being showcased at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Breast Surgeons. The meeting will be held April 27- May 1, 2011 at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, DC. Look for us at Booth #429. For more information on this meeting, click here.

The know error® system for breast biopsies, introduced in the summer of 2010 by Diagnostic ID, LLC, provides an effective way to establish specimen provenance. Through the use of DNA Specimen Provenance Assignment (DSPA) and bar code technology, the know error® system brings new levels of safety and accuracy to the biopsy evaluation process.

This innovative system dramatically reduces the incidence of Specimen Provenance Complications (SPC) which may arise due to instances of specimen transposition, foreign cell contamination, and patient misidentification that occur in clinical or anatomical pathology. By performing DNA testing of biopsy tissue samples PRIOR to any treatment taking place, the know error® system virtually eliminates any adverse patient outcomes due to SPC.
