IOMs
How do you deliver a sample in DMS?
Command->Deliver-> IOM1 or IOM2
How many identifiers are required to label a specimen, if not all information is provided on the original label?
What lanes do the Duplicates come out of?
Lane 1 on IOM 1 Dup/Cap Type.
How do you recognize an outside lab?
No MPI, no barcode
What is the cancel code for Recollect-Leaked in Transit?

When a tube is double labeled, what label do we cancel in LIS?
top label
How do you document a true duplicate?
Create a ticket in SNOW, and use the template Tracking-Duplicate tube. Scan the tube into the description section and update count.
What do you do when you receive a transplant glass/non-glass specimen?
Create a ticket in SNOW, place specimen in the completed handwritten bucket to be stored in the WIC.
What tubes can you share with each other?
You can share a 31 with a 10 and 19 with 01
Make a comment in the notes section on which tube has been shared.
Say you receive a lavender tube labeled with a 19, and there are already tests resulted under the 19. What do you do with the tube?
If a specimen has been resulted on the same day, but is not in the HVS, what do you do with it?
What is considered a leaked in transit?
What is the process when you are handed a lab accident?
Create a SNOW incident for lab customer support, include the reason you are canceling the specimen, create a SHIF including all the information that happened with the tube. Cancel tube with "5092- RECOLLECT-LAB ERROR ACCIDENT" and apply incident number in the pop up.
If a tube has parentheses around the location, what does this mean?
It means the tube has been removed from that location.
If you receive a partial barcode but only the bottom barcode is showing, what do you do?
Search the MPI and find the current requisition and label the sample as so. Scan the partial barcode in the spreadsheet.
If a specimen has been resulted and has already been relabeled, and is either in the HVS or on the automated line, what do you do?
It is a true duplicate, and must be documented.
For a mislabel, what needs to be included in the SHIF?
-If the tube was not resulted, place correct label and place on the line
- If the tube was resulted, hand to a med tech for further action
What do we do when we receive a specimen that came to the lab empty?
Cancel the with the test code as "5083-Quantity not sufficient"
