Standard 9: Specimen collection – Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027)

Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027) 9.05: Specimen collection processes: describe each service, its purpose, the standard collection procedure, temperature-controlled storage needs and maximum storage time; keep processes documented, regularly reviewed and readily accessible; adhere to the equipment's instructions for use; align with best practice guidelines; and include processes for collection in a patient's residence and for patient self-collection

What does 9.05 require?

The written collection procedures describe each service, its purpose, the standard way of collecting, whether the specimen needs controlled temperature and how long it may be stored; they are documented and reviewed at intervals; staff can get at them easily; they follow the equipment's instructions for use; they reflect best-practice guidance; and they cover collection in the patient's home and collection by the patient.
