According to 49 CFR 40.74, the collector must prepare the oral fluid specimens by taking the following steps:
* Package the specimens: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to package the split specimen collections.
* Collect the required volume: Gather at least 1 mL of undiluted (neat) oral fluid for "Bottle A" and at least 1 mL for "Bottle B," or otherwise collect a sufficient amount to allow an HHS-certified laboratory to analyze the specimens.
* Apply tamper-evident seals: In the employee's presence, place a tamper-evident seal from the CCF over the cap of each specimen container without blocking the expiration date. Record the collection date on the seals after putting them on the containers.
* Get employee initials: Instruct the employee to initial the seals on each container. If the employee refuses, note the refusal in the "Remarks" line (Step 2) of the CCF and finish the collection process.
