Miscellaneous University Hospital Clinical Lab Test
Use
This test is a miscellaneous referral used primarily for the processing of samples that are sent to a University Hospital Clinical Lab, such as the one at the University of Colorado. The clinical significance of this test is mostly reliant on the referral and the specific test performed by the external lab. It serves as a logistical means to process tests that cannot be performed in-house at Mayo Clinic.
Special Instructions
The test requires coordination with an external laboratory and proper documentation. Ordering requires the test name, performing lab code, and specimen type. For any specific forms or requisitions, Mayo Clinic Customer Service should be contacted. Internal Mayo providers should refer to the Referral Catalog in CRM for proper procedures.
Limitations
The limitations of this test include dependency on the external laboratory for the testing and interpretation of results. Since it is a referral test, Mayo Clinic's direct control over the testing quality and result turnaround may be limited. There are no specified specimen type or volume constraints on this page, but these details must be confirmed through specific test documentation from the referred laboratory.
