Updated

When you have a pre-scheduled onsite, preparation is key to keeping collections efficient, compliant, and professional. The following checklist ensures you have everything necessary before leaving the clinic.

Organize Your Paperwork

Keep a small binder or folder in your onsite collection bag to hold all required documents. Having these organized saves time and avoids missing critical forms. Include:

Essential Supplies Checklist

Testing Supplies

  • Labb Test Cups – Bring 20% more than the expected number of donors.
  • Labb Tablet – Fully charged and turned off before travel.
  • Tablet Stand – For stable setup during testing.
  • Tablet Charger – Pack if you expect longer onsite hours or heavy use.
  • Manual Rapid Result Chains – Backup forms in case Wi-Fi or tablet access fails.
  • Labb Fusion Bags – For confirmed specimens.
  • Labb Confirmation Seals – Ensure proper sealing for lab submissions.

Alcohol Testing (If Needed)

  • Breath Alcohol Machine (BAT) – Verify calibration and battery life.
  • Extra Breath Tubes – Bring additional DOT and Non-DOT forms.
  • BAT Printer Tape – Keep a spare roll inside the BAT machine case.
  • Printer – Fully charged prior to leaving the clinic.

Restroom Preparation

  • Bluing Tablets or Liquid – To prevent donor adulteration.
