Step 1 of the CCF requires the collection site's name, address, and phone number to identify where the specimen was collected.
Question 3: A collector makes an error on a paper CCF. What is the proper correction method?
- Use correction fluid (white-out) to cover the error
- Discard the form and start a new CCF
- Draw a single line through the error, initial and date, and write the correct information (Correct answer)
- Erase the error with a pencil eraser
Correct answer: Draw a single line through the error, initial and date, and write the correct information
Errors on the CCF must be corrected by drawing a single line through the error, then initialing and dating the correction — never use white-out.
Question 4: Which copy of the multi-part CCF does the donor receive at the end of collection?
- Copy 1 (laboratory copy)
- Copy 2 (MRO copy)
- Copy 5 (donor copy) (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The collector
The collector is responsible for ensuring the CCF is properly completed at the time of collection.
Question 6: What must a collector document when a donor presents with a medical condition that may affect the specimen (e.g., kidney disorder)?
- Nothing; medical history is not recorded on the CCF
- Document the condition in the Remarks section and report to the MRO (Correct answer)
- Exempt the donor from testing entirely
- Collect blood instead and note it on the form
Correct answer: Document the condition in the Remarks section and report to the MRO
Relevant medical information affecting the specimen should be noted in the Remarks section so the MRO can make an informed determination.
Question 7: If the specimen collection is observed (direct observation), what additional documentation is required?
- A second CCF must be completed
- The collector must note 'direct observation' and the reason in Step 2 Remarks (Correct answer)
- The employer must sign an observation authorization form
- No additional documentation is required
Correct answer: The collector must note 'direct observation' and the reason in Step 2 Remarks
When a direct observation collection is conducted, the collector must check the 'direct observation' box and document the reason in the Remarks section of the CCF.
