Specimen Risk Code
2011-03-06
Definition: This field contains any known or suspected specimen hazards, e.g., exceptionally infectious agent or blood from a hepatitis patient. Either code and/or text may be absent. However, the code is always placed in the first component position and any free text in the second component. Thus, a component delimiter must precede free text without a code. Refer to User-defined Table 0489 - Risk Codes for suggested entries

11 values
AGG | Aggressive(A danger that can be associated with certain living subjects, including humans.) |
BHZ | Biohazard(Material contains microorganisms that are an environmental hazard. Must be handled with special care.) |
BIO | Biological(The dangers associated with normal biological materials. I.e. potential risk of unknown infections. Routine biological materials from living subjects.) |
COR | Corrosive(Material is corrosive and may cause severe injury to skin, mucous membranes and eyes. Avoid any unprotected contact.) |
ESC | Escape Risk(The entity is at risk for escaping from containment or control.) |
EXP | Explosive(Material is an explosive mixture. Keep away from fire, sparks, and heat.) |
IFL | MaterialDangerInflammable(Material is highly inflammable and in certain mixtures (with air) may lead to explosions. Keep away from fire, sparks and excessive heat.) |
INF | MaterialDangerInfectious(Material known to be infectious with human pathogenic microorganisms. Those who handle this material must take precautions for their protection.) |
INJ | Injury Hazard(Material is solid and sharp (e.g., cannulas.) Dispose in hard container.) |
POI | Poison(Material is poisonous to humans and/or animals. Special care must be taken to avoid incorporation, even of small amounts.) |
