Request Forms & Ordering
A “High Risk" sticker must be attached to the request form for all designated high risk samples.
Whichever form you use please:
- Write clearly at all times: this prevents errors of interpretation.
- Use Patient Addressograph labels whenever possible.
- Clearly identify yourself: this makes contacting you straightforward and is essential for all transfusion requests (include telephone number/bleep number)
- Always complete the form and sample containers.
- Always provide the time and date for a specimen: vital information for interpreting some results.
- Provide clinical information when requesting: saves time, helps interpretation and may determine which analyses are performed.
- Provide accurate and complete information where requested.
- For Transfusion samples please write the information on the bottles from direct questioning of patient. Bottles with pre-printed identity labels will not be accepted by the Blood Transfusion Laboratory.
For the supply of request forms please contact Specimen Reception (Ext 66512 at Queens Medical Centre campus)
