Covid - 19 Testing Protocols
Collection of Specimen Samples
All nasopharyngeal swabbing is performed using soft, nylon fiber flocked swap tips. When sampling, use the proper PPE (face masks and gloves) to prevent potential cross contamination among patients, collectors, and specimens. Change gloves between patients. See image below for swabbing technique.
After sampling, place swab into tube containing viral transport medium (VTM).
Ensure that the tube is tightly sealed and labeled with first and last name and DOB.
Verify that identifiers on the tube match the requisition form.
Place the tube inside the biohazard bag.
Store the sample from 2 to 8 degrees Celsius after collection and during shipment.
Verification of Requisition Form
- Ensure that all information is correct and legible on the requisition form before packaging the form with the specimen sample for Fed-Ex shipping or courier pickup.
Shipping Specimen Samples
