Summary

Defining URL:http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0544
Version:2.1.0
Name:ContainerCondition
Status:Active as of 2019-12-01
Definition:

HL7-defined code system of concepts used to specify at each receipt the status of the container in which the specimen is shipped in chain of custody cases where specimens are moved from lab to lab. If the container is compromised in any way (seal broken, container cracked or leaking, etc.), then this status needs to be recorded for legal reasons. Used in the Specimen (SPM), Shipment (SHP) and Shipment Package (PAC) segments in HL7 Version 2.x messaging.
