All objects, as well as the individual body parts of the patients, can be pre-contaminated or infected with germs. To be able to detect indication errors, every object and every body part is assigned to an indication zone, which can be changed here.

A tissue box, for example, can be assigned to the Environment indication zone but carry germs from Patient 2.
