We need to figure out what we should do with those < 10. The CVX code (and I’m sure I could find language somewhere) is 01, 02, 03, etc.. (with a left-padded 0). However for DAR could we/should we make an exception and allow these to map? (e.g. 1 is equivalent to 01)?
I think we should as there are a lot of reasons this could be happening (people opening file and saving in Excel being one). I think we can course correct CVX formatting behavior in other places (e.g., I wouldn’t allow 3 as a valid code in HL7 testing).

Hossam is thinking we should fix this on the reader and switch the codes to the right ones, that way we don't get two separate codes.
