    Specimen Processor Medical Laboratory 8301 - Seattle, United States - Crescent City Recruitment Group

    Default job background
    Description
    This is a contract job opportunity

    Position:
    Specimen Processor Medical Laboratory 8301


    Location:
    Seattle WA

    Schedule:3rd Shift 11 PM to 7:30 AM M-F

    Projected duration: 3 months + potential extensions


    Job code:

    CVDJP
    benefits are available

    Expediting:
    Collecting accessioned samples from each station and delivering to the technical

    benches.

    o Walking and pushing a cart is required for the entirety of this task. Our techs do not pick

    up from Accessioning and will rely on our Expediters to deliver frequently. This task

    requires a sense of urgency and understanding of the impacts to the technical areas and

    meeting our daily metrics if there are delays. Breaks are scheduled every 2 hours, so our

    Processors that are assigned to expedite for their shift, should expect to be on their feet

    walking and delivering samples for 2-hour periods at a time.


    • TOUCH: Sorting and receiving pre-accessioned samples from our PSC sites into bins to be
    delivered to technical benches.

    o Standing is required for most of this tasks duration. The Touch bench is a standing-only

    bench. Samples received as "TOUCH" are scanned and unpacked by a Touch Receiver

    and then handed off to the Touch Sorter to sort individual samples into designated bins.

    Breaks are scheduled every 2 hours, so our Processors that are assigned to sort or

    receive Touch for their shift should expect to be standing for 2-hour periods at a time.

    Shipment Receiving:
    Sorting and receiving pre-accessioned samples from our Branch sites and

    delivering them to technical benches most urgently upon shipment arrival.

    o There are multiple shipments and shuttles from our Sister Labs and branches that are

    processed at their sites and packed for shipment to our main lab here in Seattle. Upon

    arrival, a Supervisor or lead will unpack and sort out the shipment so the samples can be

    pushed out to the technical benches as soon as they arrive. They may need assistance

    and pull any Processor or contingent worker to assist with unpacking, sorting and

    delivering samples. Shipments are unpacked as soon as they arrive and can take up to

    30-45minutes.


    • SRS-ing: Scanning samples into barcoded trays for storage so that techs and other departments
    can locate the original tubes if they need to repeat testing.

    o This function can be performed sitting or standing, but there are thousands of specimen

    tubes to scan. We have 72-hole racks that can store 72 individual blood specimen or

    urine tubes. The expected productivity for scanning in samples to a 72-hole rack is

    between 20-25 racks an hour. Breaks are scheduled every 2 hours, so our Processors

    that are assigned to SRS/Scan samples into our storage racks should be prepared to scan

    an average of 40-50 racks in 2-hour time blocks at a time.

    Cleaning:
    clearing and putting away samples, trays and carts at the close of the previous day and

    disinfecting counters. The are various cleaning tasks throughout each shift, but any Processor

    can and should expect to be placed on cleaning duties if necessary.

    Accessioning:
    We do not anticipate that we will be training any contingent workers on

    Accessioning or Data Entry as this is usually a 90-day training schedule which could exceed the

    3-month contract, but unless absolutely necessary to do so and if time and training allows, we

    would normally train to accession COVID samples or IFOBTs (mailer kits that are received

    through USPS).

    Summary:

    The main function of a specimen processor is to perform specimen accessioning, sample sorting and data entry in a fast-paced, high-throughput environment according to established standard operation procedures.


    Job Duties/Responsibilities:
    Introduce and prepare biological specimens to the laboratory to ensure accurate processing. Open specimens and pour off into secondary containers to prepare for analysis and testing. Verify patient demographic information matches the test requisition form submitted. Data entry of patient information into the computer system for tracking purposes. Meet key production metrics and quality measures to ensure timely and accurate results. Unpack and route specimens to their respective staging areas. Pack and ship specimens to proper testing facilities when required. Properly prepare and store excess specimen samples. Resolve and document any problem specimens. Handle and dispose of medical and chemical waste. Comply with applicable environmental health and safety policies and procedures. Operate automated instrumentation under supervision if necessary

    Requirements:
    High School Diploma or equivalent. Previous medical or production experience is preferred. Proficient computer and typing skills. Standardized color vision test must be administered to evaluate if potential accommodation is needed for worker. Comfortable handling human biological specimens including blood, urine and tissue samples. Ability to lift up to 30lbs, work in protective equipment and sit/stand for long periods of time. Strong eye hand coordination in order to accurately identify specimens by touch and sight. Ability to work both independently and in a team environment. High level of attention to detail with the ability to problem solve. Strong communication skills; both written and verbal. 0-2 years of work experience.
