• Capillary blood specimen collected by Laboratory on INMSP form. 
• Instructions for collection technique on the INMSP form must be carefully followed to avoid rejection of the specimen. 
• The specimen should be collected when the infant is more than 24 hours old and less than 5 days, but must be collected prior to discharge. 
• A repeat specimen must be collected within 14 days of age when the first specimen was collected prior to 24 hours after birth.

If the State lab requests the patient to be retested due to the results from the initial testing, Laboratory staff can order the NEONT MET SCR RPT*, Misys order code NNTR. Neont Met Scr Rpt* is not orderable from PowerChart. Lab must order.  Connected to the Misys order code NNTR is a processing fee only. The NNTR is not to be used when a second collection is required due to an error in the collection process.   Recollection due to a lab error should be the Misys order code NNT with the first test being credited. Nursery is to notify ER as to which baby will be returning. A repeat INMSP form will be provided to the Lab by the State Lab. A repeat specimen must be collected within 14 days of age if the first specimen was collected prior to 24 hours after birth.
