Indicate the Specimen Type

1 Click the Specimen Type tab.

2 If a Yes/No prompt appears, click Yes if the specimen is blood, serum, plasma, urine, sputum, a throat or nasopharyngeal sample, or any type of swab. Click No if it is any other type of specimen.

If you click No for any of the tests, or if there is no Yes/No prompt (indicating that the specimen is always irreplaceable), the phrase IRREPLACEABLE SPECIMEN will appear on the requisition, and an additional label will be printed for each applicable test and the specimen bag. These labels display the requisition number, client number, patient name, and the word IRREPLACEABLE.

3 If there are no other tabs, or if you have completed all of the other tabs (as indicated by a filled box next to each tab name), click Save and then provide specimen collection information (as described in Provide Specimen Collection Information).

If any tabs have not yet been completed (as indicated by an empty box next to the tab name), complete the other tabs:
