Sandbox vs. Production Serial Numbers

  • Sandbox Serial: Used for testing. Starts with TEST- or SANDBOX-. Returns mock verification results (e.g., always "SUCCESS" for a valid test ID).
  • Production Serial: Used for live identifications. Starts with PROD- or LIVE-. Returns real regulatory results.

The setup process begins with the physical placement and power-up of the unit. The serial number, typically found on the bottom or back of the device, acts as the unique fingerprint for the instrument. During the initial "out-of-the-box" experience, the system prompts the user to configure basic settings such as language, date, and time. This serial number becomes critical when integrating the device into a facility’s Laboratory Information System (LIS) or the Abbott RALS system. For connectivity, the serial number is used by IT administrators to whitelist the device on the network and ensure that patient results are securely transmitted to the correct electronic health records.
