Abstract
A combined medical device and form (20) having a unitary substrate (22) which is divided into a medical device portion (24) and a form portion (26). The form portion (24) of the substrate includes an informational section (30, 32, 34), and form identification material (36). The medical device portion (26) is illustrated as a DBS packet for collecting blood samples. The medical device portion (26) also has medical device identification material (68) that is preferably identical to the form identification material (36). With identical identification materials, which are preferably machine readable, the occurrences of patient misidentifications are substantially reduced if not eliminated.
