Preanalytical errors are said to be the reason for up
to 62 % of all errors in laboratory medicine [1]. Here are
some tips on how to avoid the most frequent errors.

3. Sample collection
Stop infusion
A sample from a limb receiving infusion:
Always stop infusion for a period of at least 2 minutes before you
start to collect a sample [1]
Using a tourniquet
Tourniquet application should not exceed 1 minute [1]
Indwelling lines sample collection procedure
Removing sufficient flush solution prevents sample
contamination.
Note: Without complete, thorough, and documented training,
phlebotomists should not collect blood from indwelling lines [1].

samples within 2 hours after
sample collection
Analyze other whole-blood
samples within 3 hours after
sample collection
Tips!
Note time of sample collection.
Stay within the specified time range.
