        <![CDATA[<p>The <strong>know error® system </strong>for breast biopsies is being showcased at the National Consortium of Breast Centers' National Interdisciplinary Breast Center Conference. The meeting is being held March 12-13, 2011 at the Planet Hollywood Resort &amp; Casino in Las Vegas. Look for us at Booth #23.&nbsp;For more information on this meeting, visit <a href="http://www.breastcare.org">www.breastcare.org</a>.</p>
<p>The&nbsp;<strong>know error® system </strong>for&nbsp;breast biopsies,&nbsp;introduced in the&nbsp;summer of 2010&nbsp;by Diagnostic ID, LLC, provides an effective way to establish specimen provenance. Through the use of&nbsp;DNA Specimen Provenance Assignment (DSPA)&nbsp;and bar code technology, the <strong>know error® system&nbsp;</strong>brings new levels of safety and accuracy to the biopsy evaluation process.</p>
<p>This innovative system dramatically reduces the incidence of Specimen Provenance Complications (SPC) which may arise&nbsp;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 <strong>know error® system </strong>virtually eliminates any adverse patient outcomes due to SPC.</p>
