In addition to the successful completion of this instruction and the exam that follows, training to qualify as a collector must include the flawless completion of five mock collections. These mock collections must include the following scenarios and must be performed in the presence of a qualified collector:
- Two uneventful collections.
- One collection in which the quantity of specimen is not sufficient.
- One collection in which the temperature of the specimen is out of range.
- One collection in which the donor refuses to sign either the donor certification on the Medical Review Officer's copy of the CCF or refuses to initial the security strips.
A printable checklist will be provided at the end of this course. The checklist can be used to document the completion of these collections.
