Dr. Arjun Dang explains how to ensure that your visit to a diagnostic lab is a safe one. Remembering the acronym "SAFE DIAGNOSTICS" can help you recall the key points for a safe diagnostic lab experience. Let us understand each point one by one. 1.starting with S.. that stands for sample labelling..When providing a sample for testing, it is crucial to ensure proper sample labeling. Make sure your name, age , gender , and other necessary details are accurately mentioned on the sample container.. which can be your blood vial or a fluid container. This ensures that your sample is correctly identified and processed, reducing the chances of errors..Also you will be shocked to know that a majority of errors in any lab in the world happen due to mislabeling.. so this small step will definitely go a long way 2.Secondly coming to A.. that stands for Ask for the test prerequisites: Before Giving your sample, it's essential to be aware of any specific requirements for the test you need. Certain tests may require fasting, while others don't.. some require an early morning sample, whereas some require an evening one… some might require you to wait for a few hours after waking up and some might need to be times some time after you have finished your meal.. in my experience following these instructions laid out by the lab are absolutely critical for an accurate report.so always ask these test requirements or prerequisites while you are scheduling a sample collection or when you visit a lab.. 3.Third is F which stands for Fresh needle assurance, you must always Ensure that the needle being used is a sealed one and in simpler terms is a clean fresh new needle is fresh. Our team follows stringent infection control measures, including using sealed needles for each patient. pre used needles can be catastrophic to your health so please never miss out on this crucial point 4.Fourth, is E…Ensure that the phlebotomist is following infection control. Our phlebotomists are trained professionals who adhere to strict infection control protocols. They wear gloves, use sterilized equipment, and maintain a clean environment to prevent any cross-contamination. You can have peace of mind knowing that we take every precaution to keep you safe. please ensure that these infection control protocols are followed as many unwell persons visit any lab for their tests and as for home collections..the phlebotomists are visiting multiple homes and might have a chance to transmit any infection if not careful. This is also one reason that we never collected any covid samples in any of our labs and have always had either drive thru or home collection facilities available for the same lastly after S..A..F..E is D .. which stands for discuss all details.. by this we mean that Ask for the time in which the report will be ready, how will it be shared with you. the test cost… and also most importantly provide details to the lab.. like your medical history, any past fainting episodes while giving blood samples?? doctors prescription or if you have any allergies to topical alcohol or bandaids, if you have thin veins or if the age of the patient falls in the pediatric age group and you require a specialist or need special baby needles to be used.
