| Donor washes hands Instruct the donor to wash and dry his or her hands. Observe this step. Tell the donor not to wash or dry hands again until after the donor has provided and handed you a specimen. The donor may use soap to wash hands but it must be a liquid. Solid or bar soap gives the donor a chance to conceal soap shavings under the fingernails and subsequently use them to attempt to adulterate the specimen. | View Page |
| Observed collection scenarios Scenario 1:A donor was asked to wash her hands prior to picking out the drug screen collection kit. The collector noticed that the donor was washing only one hand.Collector’s response:The collector tells the donor that not washing both hands is an indication of possible interference with the testing process and that it could be interpreted as a refusal to test. If the donor still refuses to wash both hands, the collector must stop the collection process, note the refusal on the CCF and notify the DER.Scenario 2:The donor was asked to remove his hat before going into the restroom. As he reluctantly did so, it was noticed that he was trying to conceal a container that was hidden inside the hat.Collector’s response:The collector first explains the circumstances to a supervisor. If the supervisor concurs that an observed collection should be done, the collector then tells the donor that a directly observed collection will be conducted because his conduct indicated a possible attempt to adulterate, substitute, or dilute the specimen. The collector marks on the CCF that the collection was observed and notes under Remarks why it was observed. | View Page |
