Which document is used to indicate that specimens from a urinalysis test were moved to temporary storage because the specimens could not be shipped the same day as testing?

• A. DD Form 2624
• B. Urinalysis Requisition
• C. Chain of Custody Document
• D. Transit manifest

Answer: (A)

When handling urinalysis specimens, documenting what happens to them if they can’t be shipped right away is about tracking custody and storage status. The form used to indicate that a sample has been moved to temporary storage, along with the reason and custody details, is the Urinalysis Specimen Custody Document (DD Form 2624). This document records who has custody, where the specimen is stored, the date/time, storage conditions, and why it was held, ensuring the chain of custody stays intact and that the receiving lab knows to ship later. The Urinalysis Requisition is for ordering and identifying the test, a Chain of Custody Document tracks transfers between custodians, and a Transit manifest lists items in transit, not the specific storage event for a late shipment.
