/transportARUP LABORATORIESARUP Laboratories is a nonprofit nationalclinical and anatomic pathology referencelaboratory. ARUP processes more than55,000 specimens of blood, body fluid, andtissue biopsies per day for clients located inall 50 states.ARUP is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, amajor metropolitan hub with one of thefastest growing airports in the nation.Currently, eight airlines operate hundreds ofdaily flights to Salt Lake City InternationalAirport. Shipments arrive continuously,ensuring rapid turnaround times on testresults, regardless of where a client’slaboratory may be located. Throughout thetransportation process, ARUP’s Logisticsand Transportation Department employs avariety of quality-assurance indicators thatmonitor and assure specimen integrity.Specimen pickup and transport to ARUPare managed by ARUP’s Logistics andTransportation teams. A representativefrom a contract courier in the client’s areapicks up specimens from the client site. Inorder to optimize specimen integrity, ARUPprovides supplies to clients to facilitateproper specimen collection, transfer, andtransport. ARUP continuously monitorsthe shipping regulations of medicalspecimens established by the InternationalAir Transport Association (IATA) andDepartment of Transportation (DOT) toremain in compliance.As the most responsive source of qualityinformation and knowledge, ARUP strivesto be the reference laboratory of choicefor community healthcare systems. ARUPhelps its clients meet the customized needsof their unique communities. We believein collaborating, sharing knowledge, andcontributing to laboratory science in waysthat provide the best value for the patient.Together, ARUP and its clients will improvepatient care today and in the future.
SPECIMEN PREPARATIONSPECIMEN LABELINGAll specimens submitted to ARUP for testing mustbe appropriately labeled.* This requirement assurespositive identification and optimum integrity of patientspecimens from the time of collection until testing iscompleted and results reported. Clients will be notifiedof inappropriately labeled specimens, which may bereturned to the client upon request.ARUP STANDARD TRANSPORT TUBESARUP encourages the use of ARUP standard transporttubes for specimen submission. These containershave been evaluated by ARUP and are not known tocause analytical interference in the associated assays.ARUP standard transport tubes are also availablein an amber color required for light-sensitive testsand metal-free for trace element testing. All ARUPstandard transport tubes meet DOT 49 CFR 178.605and IATA DGR 6.3.5 requirements for the transport ofspecimens.15824 StandardTransport TubeFor routine serum,plasma, and urinetesting43116 StandardTransport Tube,Metal FreeFor heavy-metalserum, plasma, andurine testing13654 StandardTransport Tube,AmberFor serum, plasma,whole blood, andurine testing thatrequires lightprotection43115 StandardTransport Tube,SterileFor CSF andother testing thatrequires a sterilespecimen*The College of American Pathologists (CAP) Laboratory GeneralChecklist requires that all primary specimen containers must belabeled with two identifiers at the time of collection to provideunique identification. Examples of acceptable identifiers include,but are not limited to, the following: patient name, date of birth,hospital number, Social Security number, requisition number,accession number, and unique random number (CAP GEN.40491).The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals require twoways to identify the patient (Goal 1, NPSG.01.01.01).2 The tube has graduated markings up to 4 mL,which is the maximum capacity. When submitting specimens, it is critical toleave an air space at the top of the tube toallow for expansion and prevent leakage. Forthis reason, liquid should never exceed 4 mL. A separate tube must be submitted foreach panel or test ordered on the samepatient, especially for tests requiring frozenspecimens. However, one specimen issufficient for allergen testing. If specimen requirements indicate more than 4mL, submit sample in multiple tubes. The tube’s threaded cap provides a leakproofseal when screwed on properly. It is not apush-on cap. The label must be adhered as pictured below;hold the lid of the tube in your left hand andplace the label lengthwise. Do not use Parafilm laboratory sealing film. ARUP’s standard transport tubes are notsterile; do not use them for infectious diseasetests requiring sterile transport. All labels should be in compliance with Clinicaland Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)guidelines (Auto 12-A).
SPECIMEN PREPARATIONSPECIMEN REJECTION/TEST CANCELLATIONContainers that are not preferred but maybe accepted: Glass tubes for refrigerated and ambient (roomtemperature) specimens. Glass tubes are notrecommended due to the increased risk of brokenspecimens while in transit and the associatedsafety concerns for those who handle them. Tubes that use a pop-top type of cap Syringes (where required) that are plastic andhave a Luer Lock fitting, which secures the cap.The syringe should be enclosed in two plasticbags and placed in a small cardboard box orplastic jar with a screw cap to protect the plungerfrom accidental pushing. No needles should beattached. Client-specific containersUnacceptable containers and/or conditions: Glass tubes for frozen specimens Polystyrene tubes Leaking specimens Syringes with needles attached Transport tubes secured with Parafilm Specimens received in expired transportcontainers or media Serum and plasma separator tubes (SSTand PST). When a separator tube is used forcollection, promptly centrifuge the specimen andpour the serum or plasma into an ARUP standardtransport tube before shipping to ARUP, unlessotherwise specified. Numerous tests prohibit theuse of specimens collected in tubes containinggels. If prohibited, the information will appear forthe test entry under Remarks or UnacceptableConditions in the ARUP Laboratory Test Directoryat aruplab.com.SPECIMEN TRANSPORTATION CONTAINER95KPA VALIDATIONAll specimen containers supplied by ARUP forspecimen transport withstand stringent testing toensure they are well constructed and have secure lidsthat prevent leakage during transport. This validationcomplies with regulations and meets the shippingrequirements of the Department of Transportation’s49 CFR 178.605, Dangerous Goods Regulations andIATA DGR 6.3.5. The official documentation can befound in the ARUP eSupply Catalog attached directlyto the specific item.Clients are responsible for specimens submitted incontainers not supplied by ARUP. Documentation oncontainers not provided by ARUP should be obtaineddirectly from the manufacturer or an outside testingfacility. Please contact your local account executivefor information regarding outside testing facilities.For up-to-date specimen preparation and transport information, visit aruplab.com/transport.
SPECIMEN PREPARATIONTRANSPORT RACKSSPECIMEN BAGSARUP Laboratories provides specimen tube racks forthe separation of specimens and plastic bags withabsorbent material. Two 10-hole tube racks may beplaced in the color-coded bags. Racks should be usedwhen transporting more than one specimen. Largertransport options are available. Requests can be madethrough eSupply or by contacting Client Services atclientservices@aruplab.com or 800-522-2787.ARUP specimen bags are bar coded and color codedin order to assist with the tracking and handling ofspecimens. Each bag has a tear-off receipt for clientsto keep, as well as a central information section.Clients must complete the central information section(e.g., date, client number, and specimen count). If thespecimen count is not indicated on the bag, ARUPcannot be responsible for tracking missing or lostspecimens. The specimen count and the date shouldalso be listed on the tear-off receipt and attached tothe client’s copy of the packing list or logging systemfor easy, accurate reference.All specimens must be in leakproof primarycontainers (transport tubes) and must beplaced in leakproof secondary containers(color-coded specimen bags).Be sure to tighten caps on tubes and closebags securely.Couriers are prohibited from picking up specimensthat are leaking or are not in secondary containers(i.e., ARUP color-coded specimen bags or pressurizedspecimen containers). Tube racks must be markedwith the correct holding and transport temperatureand placed in the corresponding temperature-specific,color-coded bags. Clients are responsible for packingspecimens in the appropriate color-coded specimenbags. Tube racks meet the DOT requirement to keepfragile specimen containers from coming in contactwith one another. Alternatively, fragile specimens mustbe individually wrapped in a specimen bag or withabsorbent material.Each ARUP rack holds 10 tubes.4If submitting more than one specimen perpatient, and if specimens need to be storedand transported at different temperatures,use separate bags and include the patientand specific test(s) on separate andtemperature-specific packing lists (or manualrequisitions).Green:Gray:Blue:Room temperature (ambient) specimensRefrigerated specimensFrozen specimens
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TEST REQUESTINGINSTRUCTIONS FOR CLIENTS USING MANUALTEST REQUISITIONSAll noninterfaced orders should be placed usingARUP’s Connect Order Entry; however, when this isnot possible, manual test requisitions are availablethrough ARUP Client Services. Call 800-522-2787and a Client Services representative will assist indetermining the appropriate form needed.1. Use a separate container/tube and test requestform for each test ordered on the same patient,especially for frozen specimens. ARUP may beunable to process specimens that are not inseparate containers.2. Use a black pen, as ARUP will scan the requestform for image retrieval.3. Complete the information requested at the top ofthe form.4. Mark an “x” in the box indicating the test(s)requested. Record the number of specimenssubmitted and total number of tests ordered onthe test request form in the lower-left corner. Ifthere is no box for a test you are requesting, writethe test number and the complete test name inthe Other Tests Ordered box.5. The specimen container must have the patient’sfirst and last name and unique identifier andspecimen type or source clearly indicated on it.6. Keep a copy of the form for your records andretain the bag-identification tear-off receipt.INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLIENTS USING INTERFACESOR CONNECT ORDER ENTRY1. Generate a specimen packing list; a client numberand temperature must appear on the packing listin addition to the collection date and time.2. The specimen container must have the patient’sfirst and last name and unique identifier andspecimen type or source clearly indicated on it.3. Match specimens to entries on the packing list toensure there is a specimen for each test orderedand for each temperature requirement. Write thecorresponding number from the specimen transportrack on the packing list next to the specimen.Interface orders and Connect orders must besubmitted in separate ARUP temperaturespecific bags.If specimens are shared between in-houseand sendout vendor labs, in-house tests arealways performed first.The ARUP Anatomic Pathology and Cytologylaboratories require a specific manual test requestform for each specimen submitted. Contact ARUPClient Services to request these forms.Manual requisitions and their associatedspecimens must be submitted in separateARUP temperature-specific bags.For up-to-date specimen preparation and transport information, visit aruplab.com/transport.
PACKING AND TRANSPORT OF SPECIMENSIDENTIFYING SPECIMEN TYPE AND TEMPERATUREDOT AND IATA REQUIREMENTSTo ensure optimum testing conditions for a specimenthat is sent to ARUP Laboratories, the client mustdetermine two things:When shipping specimens, it is essential that eachspecimen be packaged and shipped properly.Complying with the regulations set forth by the DOTand the IATA will control or eliminate many healthand financial liabilities, both criminal and civil. Othershipping regulations (IATA; CFR 29, 42, and 49; ICAO;and USPS) may also apply, depending on the transportservice used.1. Determine the type of specimen to be sent:Category B (biological substance) or Category A(infectious substance).2. Determine the optimal temperature that containsthe longest stability at which the specimen mustbe maintained during transit using instructions forindividual tests listed in the ARUP Laboratory TestDirectory at aruplab.com/testing.Room temperature (ambient) specimensreceived with gel packs may be placed onExcept for suspicion of refrigeratedtemperatures during transit.The following rules apply for all specimens: The primary and secondary receptacles must beleakproof and not contain more than 500 mL orgrams (ARUP-specific requirement). There must be absorbent material placed betweenthe primary receptacle and the secondarypackaging sufficient to absorb the entire contentsof all primary containers within the secondarypackage. The primary receptacle or the secondarypackaging must be capable of withstanding,without leakage, an internal pressure differential ofnot less than 95 kPa. If multiple fragile primary receptacles are placedin a single secondary packaging, they must beeither individually wrapped or separated to preventcontact between them. An itemized list of contents must be enclosedbetween the secondary packaging and the outerpackaging.Packing list or test request forms fit into the outside sleeve.6
PACKING AND TRANSPORT OF SPECIMENSBIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE, CATEGORY B,PACKING INSTRUCTIONSINFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE, CATEGORY A,PACKING INSTRUCTIONSBiological Substances, Category B, are defined ashuman or animal material, including excreta, secreta,blood and its components, tissue, and tissue fluidsbeing transported for diagnostic or investigationalpurposes, but excluding live infected humans oranimals.Infectious Substances, Category A, are infectioussubstances that are known or reasonably expectedto contain pathogens. Pathogens are definedas microorganisms (including bacteria, viruses,rickettsiae, parasites, and fungi) and other agents,such as prions, which can cause disease in humans oranimals. Infectious substances are capable of causingpermanent disability or life-threatening, fatal diseaseto humans or animals when exposure to them occurs.Refer to IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, Table3.6.D.When submitting Biological Substance, Category B,specimens:1. Place specimens in the ARUP rack in the orderthe specimens appear on the packing list or in thesame order as the test request forms.2. Mark the rack(s) with your client number, alongwith the correct temperature and rack number.3. Place one or two racks in the zip-lock portionof the correct color-coded specimen bag. Ifracks cannot be used, then the specimen mustbe packed individually in a specimen bag; ifmultiple specimens are being sent, they must beindividually wrapped and placed in a specimenbag.4. Completely fill in the date, client number, andspecimen count on the bag and place all of thepaperwork into the outside pouch.5. Remove the tear-off receipt from the color-codedbag and keep for your records.6. Place bag in appropriate temperature location forcourier pick up.Only specimens that meet the criteria for inclusion asa Category A substance must be shipped as infectioussubstance. If there is reasonable suspicion that asubstance meets the criteria, it must be included inCategory A (IATA 3.6.2.2.2.1(b)2).Cultures (laboratory stocks) are the result of a processby which pathogens are amplified or propagatedin order to generate high concentrations, therebyincreasing the risk of infection when exposure to themoccurs. This definition refers to cultures prepared forthe intentional generation of pathogens and does notinclude cultures intended for diagnostic and clinicalpurposes.When submitting Infectious Substance, Category A,specimens:1. Before infectious substances can be shipped,training, which includes testing and certification,must be obtained. Infectious substance trainingis available online through ARUP. For moreinformation, consult your account executive.2. Obtain a pressure container. Secure specimeninside the container following container usageinstructions (see next page).3. For infectious substances, a positive meansof closure is required for all ambient (roomtemperature) specimens. If screw caps are used,they must be secured with adhesive tape, notParafilm.4. Infectious substances must be shipped in theirown shipping container, with no other specimentypes.For up-to-date specimen preparation and transport information, visit aruplab.com/transport.
