Container Status

2003-08-22
Definition: This field identifies the status of the unique container in which the specimen resides at the time that the transaction was initiated. Refer to HL7 Table 0370 - Container status for valid values. The equipment specific container status should be sent as <alternate identifier> as needed.

The container states are relevant for the exchange of information among devices (within the LAS). Not all of them are relevant for information transfer between the LAS and the LIS.
