Q11098 - INFO: Add/Edit Chain of Custody

Used to keep track of the COC (Chain of Custody) of samples.

 

Chain of Custody is a legal term that refers to the ability to guarantee the identity and integrity of the sample from collection through to reporting of the test results.

It is a process used to maintain and document the chronological history of the sample.

     
* Note:  Documents should include name or initials of the individual collecting the sample, each person or entity subsequently having custody of it, the date the sample was collected or transferred, employer or agency, sample number, employee's name, and a brief description of the sample.

Once you have set your samples up and you have a Sample on the Calendar. When you go to put in the date/time sample was collected and person that collected the sample, click on the Chain of Custody Tab, then click on the [Add Custody] button. The date/time will come up to current date/time. Click on the date/time cells to edit. Use the drop down menu to add the "Relinquished By" and the "Received By".
