Instructions	Collect TWO Specimens for this test: Aptima Vaginal Swab (Orange Label) and Bacterial Culture Transport (Swab w/Media) inoculated Jembec 1) Aptima Specimen: Vaginal Swab, Swab of vagina, cervix, discharge, aspirated endocervical, endometrial, prostatic fluid, or urethral discharge. Use swab to inoculate Jembec for transport to the laboratory and recovery of Neisseria gonorrhoeae; swab should also be sent in transport device at Room Temperature. Do not refrigerate. 2) Bacterial Culture Specimen Collection: Female: Do not use lubricant on speculum. Cervical mucus should be removed first before inserting swab into endocervical canal, move swab from side to side allowing several seconds for absorption of organisms by the swab. Return swab to the transport tube and label. Male: Using small wire swab, gently scrape the anterior urethral mucosa or, use a swab to collect specimen of urethral discharge. Maintain specimen swab and Jembec at Room Temperature. Do not refrigerate. Cause for Rejection: Inappropriate specimen transport device; unlabeled specimen or name discrepancy between specimen and request label; specimen received after prolonged delay (usually more than 72 hours); specimen received in expired transport. Special Instructions: Specify specimen source and pertinent clinical information on the request form. Specimens from other sources, such as genital, stool, urine, upper and lower respiratory specimens, cannot be cultured under the aerobic bacterial culture test number. If specimens are incorrectly submitted with an order for aerobic bacterial culture, the laboratory will process the specimen for the test based on the source listed on the request form. The client will not be telephoned to approve this change, but the change will be indicated on the report. Check expiration date of transport; do NOT use expired devices.
