A system for labeling a patient specimen tube with identification information that includes a labeling device. The labeling device includes scanning and printing units electronically connected to a microcomputer. The scanning unit is configured to electronically read machine readable information provided on a patient identification article carried by the patient. The printing unit includes a print head. The microcomputer is programmed to receive information obtained by the scanning unit, interface with a database to correlate the received information with patient label information, format the patient label information, and prompt the printing unit to print the patient label information onto the specimen tube. In some embodiments, the database is maintained by a network server, with the labeling device electronically interfacing with the network server. 1.
