Properties

This code system defines the following properties for its concepts

NameCodeURITypeDescription
Statusstatushttp://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties#statuscodeDesignation of a concept's state. Normally is not populated unless the state is retired.

Concepts

This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-EntityHandling defines the following codes in a Is-A hierarchy:

CodeDisplayDefinitionStatus
AMB Ambient TemperatureKeep at ambient temperature, 22 +/- 2Cactive
C37 Body TemperatureCritical to keep at body temperature 36-38Cactive
CAMB Critical Ambient temperatureCritical ambient - must not be refrigerated or frozen.active
CATM Protect from AirCritical. Do not expose to atmosphere. Do not uncap.active
CFRZ Critical frozenCritical frozen. Specimen must not be allowed to thaw until immediately prior to testing.active
CREF Critical refrigerated temperatureCritical refrigerated - must not be allowed to freeze or warm until imediately prior to testing.active
DFRZ Deep FrozenDeep Frozen -16 to -20C.active
DRY dryKeep in a dry environmentactive
FRZ frozenKeep frozen below 0 ?Cactive
MTLF Metal FreeContainer is free of heavy metals, including lead.active
NTR nitrogenKeep in liquid nitrogenactive
PRTL Protect from LightProtect from light (eg. Wrap in aluminum foil).active
PSA do not shakeDo not shakeactive
PSO no shockProtect against shockactive
REF Refrigerated temperatureKeep at refrigerated temperature:4-8C Accidental warming or freezing is of little consequence.active
SBU Shake before useShake thoroughly before usingactive
UFRZ Ultra frozenUltra cold frozen -75 to -85C. Ultra cold freezer is typically at temperature of dry ice.active
UPR uprightKeep upright, do not turn upside downactive
