All laboratories except Blood Bank:

Orders for which the laboratory determines that the specimens are suboptimal (hemolyzed, clotted, wrong container) will continue to be canceled per laboratory protocol.

If the patient care area decides to recollect the specimen:

• reprint the Epic order requisition,
• write redraw or recollect on the requisition and
• send the specimen and requisition to the laboratory.

For the time being, the laboratory will accession the sample as a Lab Initiated Order (LIO) and perform the testing.
