Summary
Some of the currently distributed FRA post-accident toxicology testing (PATT) kits contain blood tubes with expiration dates ranging from October 1996 to January 1997. Since the blood tube lots that are currently available will expire in a few months, FRA decided to delay replacing the expiring tubes until new lots of 18-24 month blood tubes become available in early 1997. This notice explains the procedures to be followed until FRA distributes replacement blood tubes.
