Safety Protocols: How We Ensure Sterile Home Collection
We know how critical it is to keep things clean during medical tests, like sterile home collection procedures. This is to stop infections linked to healthcare. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says over 2 million people in the U.S. get sick from these infections. Sadly, 99,000 people die from them each year.
This shows we must stick to at-home specimen collection rules very closely. We aim for the highest cleanliness and hygiene standards.
Our sterile sample collection process is made to stop contamination and keep samples safe. We follow the rules of surgical asepsis, which means no germs in any invasive procedure. For home medical sample collection, we use clean tools, gowns, and gloves. This keeps things sterile and stops germs from spreading.
We also stress the need for a sterile home testing process to get right results.
By being very strict with our rules, we lower the chance of infections and make sure samples are correct. Our main goal is to give our patients a safe and trustworthy sterile home collection experience. We’re dedicated to keeping our quality and hygiene at the highest level in everything we do.

We know how vital it is to follow the right steps for home healthcare. Our process for collecting samples at home is simple and clear. It focuses on keeping everything clean and preventing any contamination. This means using sterile tools and following specific guidelines to keep the sample safe.
It’s very important to correctly identify the samples. We suggest using at least two identifiers on each container. Also, make sure to mix the blood with additives well by shaking the tube a few times after you collect it. Letting clot tubes sit for 30-60 minutes before spinning them is key to avoiding any problems with the sample.
