Sec.  40.161  What does the MRO do when a drug test specimen is rejected for testing?

     As the MRO, when the laboratory reports that the specimen is rejected for testing (e.g., because of a fatal or uncorrected flaw), you must do the following:

    (a) Place a check mark in the ``Test Cancelled'' box (Step 6) on Copy 2 of the CCF and enter the reason on the ``Remarks'' line.

    (b) Report to the DER that the test is cancelled and the reason for cancellation, and that no further action is required unless a negative test is required (e.g., in the case of a pre-employment, return-to-duty, or follow-up test).

    (c) You may only report a test cancelled because of a rejected for testing test result when you are in possession of a legible copy of Copy 1 of the CCF. In addition, you must have Copy 2 of the CCF, a legible copy of it, or any other copy of the CCF containing the employee's signature.
