3. "Barcode Already in Use" ( Bomee Application)

- If the barcode is claimed but their is no ultrasound session under it then the user successfully added the barcode but their ultrasound has not uploaded yet. If this is the case please see article here for next steps.
4. Media Upload Delays
- Issue: Media is not visible in the app after 24-48 hours.
- Solution:
- Verify that the correct barcode was used for the media upload.
- Check the admin portal to ensure the content is visible.
- If the ultrasound session is not visible, try rebooting your Bomee to see if the session uploads then.
- If issue persists email support at us_help@humanscape.io with the barcode # + date of the recording and support will see if they can find and recover the session.
- Since recovery time may vary if the client cannot wait we recommend performing another Ultrasound.
5. Scanned Incorrect Barcode
- Issue: Video or images are under the wrong barcode (user profile).
- Solution:
- Log into the admin portal (https://admin.bomee.io) and hide the incorrectly categorized video/images.

- Provide the client with their new barcode # if a new one needed to be issued
