LacTrack® Preparation
Milk Preparation and Verification

LacTrack Preparation is the ultimate nursing tool for the verification and tracking of the milk preparation process.
The nurse preparing the milk uses LacTrack Preparation to verify that the right milk products are being mixed for the right baby. To prepare the feeding vial upon receipt of the barcoded electronic order (created using LacTrack SafeLx), the nurse:

1. Scans a valid caregiver ID to access the application
2. Scans the SafeLx order label barcode
3. Scans the mother's milk, formula, additive, donor milk label barcodes

LacTrack Preparation will warn the caregiver in the following cases:

• The mother's milk does not match the babies identification
• The mother's or donor's milk has expired
• The mother's milk, formula, additive, donor milk is not in the order

After the verification process, the caregiver then prints a label for the feeding vial which contains all the milk preparation information in eye-readable and barcoded format. This label is then later scanned at the bedside using LacTrack SafeLx to confirm a match between the baby and the milk unit. All preparation information is recorded in a central database that can be later accessed using LacTrack Manager. Some of the information recorded includes:

• Caregiver who prepared the milk
• Time and date of preparation
• Baby's identification
• List of products (incl unit numbers) prepared
• Order information
• Any errors or discrepencies
