| Question & Answer From DATIA's Forum: |
|
Question: I need to hear how other facilities handle distributing water to donors who are not able to produce enough for a sample. I currently instruct donors that water is available for their use and notify them that under DOT rules 40 oz of fluids reasonably spaced in 3 hours is permitted. I also inform them that each cup holds 5 oz. I feel it is their responsibility to follow the instructions.
I understand that DATIA has a form to document the amount of fluid a donor drinks and at what time. I am concerned that if I use that form or a form like it the responsibility of how much the donor drinks falls on the shoulders of the collector and what happens if the specimen is dilute?
Answer: It is the collectors responsibility to monitor how much fluid the donor is given. If this is done, dilution of the specimen should not be an issue.
Section 7.(5) of the Urine Specimen Collection Guidelines issued by The Department of Transportation's Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance states that " The collector should maintain a record in the "Remarks" line on the CCF of the time of each attempt, whether there was any specimen provided or the quantity of the specimen provided, and the amount of fluids that the employee was given to drink. During the waiting time, the employee must be monitored by the collector ( the one conducting the collection or another collector at the site) or by another responsible collection site staff member or a company representative. The collector must specifically tell the employee that he or she is not permitted to leave the collection site and if they do so, that it will be considered a refusal to test."
