    We allow specimens collected through SunQuest Collection Manager to be used as the single specimen, which we will then type two times.

    Of course there can be many workarounds for other techniques.  Double signatures - just collect the specimen and ask a friend to sign it.  Specimens collected at different times - collect two at the same time - put different times on them.

    I heard of a local facility that the second tube was coded and provided by the blood bank.  That sounded fairly fool proof.

    Hi @SMILLER.  4 hours from when?  That has always perplexed me.  From the time it leaves the fridge / blood bank?  The time it gets to the floor?  The time they start the infusion?

    Since you said you monitor this, how many do you monitor?  All or a part of your total infusions?  How many products do you issue a year.

    Sorry, that's a lot of questions.  :)
