Opis

The Specimen Collection component consists of two sections, hair collection and nasal swab collection. The MEC coordinator assigns a SP (sample person) to the specimen collection/balance room. The health technician logs onto the specimen collection application and logs the SP into the component. The ISIS system presents the correct section screens according to the SPs person type, age, and gender. Primary male and female SPs ages 1-5 and females ages 16-49 are eligible for hair collection. Primary, home exam, and second exam SPs age 1+ are eligible for nasal swab collection. Health technicians collect the hair and/or nasal swab on primary and second exam SPs, record the results in ISIS, escort the SP back to the coordinator, and transport the specimens to the MEC laboratory. The home examiner collects the nasal swab in the SP's home, records the collection results in ISIS and transports the nasal swab back to the MEC. The medical technologist logs the specimen(s) into the MEC laboratory using the laboratory application, stores the specimens and ships them to contract laboratories weekly.
