Specifications include, but are not limited to: To reduce the risk of receiving specimens that are unacceptable for testing, specimens must be transported in insulated containers (e.g coolers) with an operable thermometer to record the temperature within the container. Specimen temperature during transport must not exceed 80°F or drop below 60°F (16° - 27°C). To help maintain cooler temperature, ice packs enclosed within a Ziploc bag may be utilized. Blocks of ice or ice cubes are not acceptable as these will melt and compromise specimen integrity. Once specimens arrive at RISHL, the courier will be required to sign the Courier Log with time of delivery, temperature of cooler, and initials. The courier service will need to return the containers from RISHL to the individual pick-up sites within a reasonable time period for re-use. RISHL may also schedule delivery of supplies to sites on an as needed basis. RISHL may adjust the courier schedule during the contract period, including the addition and/or deletion of pick-up sites. If needed, RISHL may alter pick-up/delivery times to accommodate specific testing requirements, particularly during the holiday season.
