      @rattateo 5 месяцев назад +2

      @@lgstar3363 I'm a MLS in a hospital lab. We store the remaining sample for 3, 7, or 30 days depending on the tube type. Other hospitals may use slightly different policies on storage times, but we all store at minimum according to regulatory/accrediting body requirements. That time allows for us to perform additional testing in case the doctor orders more tests after the initial tests are run. After that the tubes are discarded in biohazard waste which is ultimately incinerated.

      If tubes are mixed up, it is most likely a result of what we call pre-analytical error (an error whose root cause occurred before actual testing). Particularly clerical error (mislabeled specimen) or the person drawing the blood failed to positively identify the patient at the time of collection.

    • @fucuuy1406
      @fucuuy1406 2 года назад +2

      Actually the pneumatic tube system isn't why it's so expensive. The lab don't get one specimen. Just from the ER they get specimens from every floor in the hospital. They get hundreds of specimens down daily. Hundreds of different patients. So in one sample bag they can have 15 to 30 test that may include up to 4 to 10 tubes. And each patient gets their own bag. so if a nurse collects seven patients. you add all the tubes and tests collected that nurse can't walk down every tube she draws. Especially depending on the size of the hospital. I work in a hospital where it took 7 minutes from the lab to the ER. By foot.
