This is an informative post:
We recently updated our RALS to 8.5.3, which now has barcode definitions for the GEM100 Hemochron. Previously, we had to configure the barcodes through the GEM Hemochron Configuration Manager. When RALS sends an update to the instruments, it replaces the barcode configuration with its own (which was not configured). I am currently working with RALS to configure barcodes in RALS. For my institution, we have not yet been able to successfully have the GEMs read the patient's wristband when programmed through RALS. The instrument does read our operator IDs. We have 2 leading alpha digits before the operator ID and Patient ID which are different. RALS is not sending both sets of alpha digits to the instruments.
Just in case anyone else is also experiencing barcode woes.

We just linked GemWeb directly to EPIC instead of going through middleware. We have UniPOC. It worls great adn I like controlling users through GemWeb and CCM for the meter settings. I have 8 units using the meters with their unique settings. I just have a config file for each I update as needed through CCM. Differences are how often to run QC, if any need emergency cases, etc. I also had one unit I had to manually enter their cuvette lots so they would know to QC first and not use for patients. You can also control barcodes in CCM and if you need or want leading alpha digits.
Thanks for your input!
Cheers
