1. Analysts/relievers must bring to BHFS/CHD:
a PRC ID/PRC claim stub (original), and
b. NRL Training Certificate (Xerox copy)

2. BHFS/CHD shall scan the analyst’s ten (10) fingerprints and encode the analyst’s data in the system.

3. Finger/s can be skipped in capturing the biometric data in exceptional cases. These cases can be attributed to amputated or injured finger/s. Reason/s for such case shall be recorded in IDTOMIS.

F. Request for Relievers and its Approval

A reliever is a DOH NRL trained analyst who shall perform temporarily the functions of the designated full-time Laboratory Analyst in case the latter is absent. Policies and guidelines are as follows:

3. A reliever can be affiliated in two (2) or more DTLs provided actual duty shall not overlap with more than one DTL for the same period.

4. The DTL shall immediately request the BHFS through a letter duly signed by the Owner/Head of Laboratory to activate the reliever’s account in the requesting DTL. The period should be indicated in the letter that a reliever shall take the place of the Laboratory Analyst.

5. Request may be made before the actual leave or absence of the Laboratory Analyst.

6. The BHFS evaluates the request and enters in the IDTOMIS the approved number of allowable days for the reliever to operate.

7. The Owner of the DTL shall inform the BHFS in writing the date the designated Laboratory Analyst reports back to duty.

DTLs can access the online request for validation of DTKs to facilitate the scheduling and validating processes.

1. Prior to the operation of IDTOMIS, the DTLs shall have their DTKs validated.

2. For the initial implementation of IDTOMIS, all DTLs shall go to the CHDs to have their DTKs on hand inventoried and their existing balance forwarded to the IDTOMIS DTK file maintenance.

7. DTLs shall be able to retrieve the validated DTKs in the Drug Testing Operations Module.

8. For succeeding DTK validations, DTLs shall submit one copy of the DTR together with the used DTKs to the CHDs. Otherwise, CHDs will not validate newly procured DTKs.

B. Verification and Registration of Clients for Drug Testing

There are three (3) levels of verification to confirm the identity of clients before a drug test can be performed. These are as follows:

1. Presentation of Valid Identification Cards: Drug test clients mentioned under Section 36, Article III, RA 9165, except paragraph (f) shall be required to present at least one valid ID with photo and signature. Valid IDs shall include the following:

· GSIS/SSS ID
· Postal ID
· Passport
· Driver’s License

· Barangay Certification as to the identity of the client (in the absence of any of the above-mentioned IDs)

2. Use of Biometrics: Drug test clients mentioned under Section 36, Article III, RA 9165, shall be verified and registered using biometrics in the IDTOMIS.

a. The client’s ten (10) fingerprints shall be scanned and registered in the system.

b. Finger/s can be skipped in capturing the biometric data in exceptional cases like analysts having amputated or injured finger/s. Reason/s for such case shall be recorded in IDTOMIS.

3. The client’s photo and other biographic data shall be recorded in the system.

C. Resolving Duplicate Biometric Records

1. The IDTOMIS can detect duplicate fingerprints with different names. In such case, the following procedures shall be done:

a. DTLs shall carefully verify the identity of the client through the presentation of valid IDs and comparison with the picture in the IDTOMIS.

b. Only when the IDs and picture confirm the identity of the client shall the drug testing be allowed by the DTLs.

D. Generation and Use of Drug Test Results (DTR)

1. Laboratory analyst shall be required to scan his/her finger each time a result is to be entered in IDTOMIS.

2. DTLs shall generate the Drug Test Results on the following conditions:

a. Drug test result of screened applicant is NEGATIVE.
b. Final drug test report based on the result of the confirmatory examination.
c. Reprinting of drug test result based on client’s request.

C. Sending of Screening Positive Result to Confirmatory DTLs

1. Once the analyst entered a screening positive result, the system shall require a Confirmatory DTL be selected where the specimen shall be confirmed.

2. DTLs are required to send the specimen for confirmation only in DOH accredited Confirmatory Laboratories.

D. Web-based Application for Permit for Remote Collection

1. An online application for Permit for Remote Collection is available for DTLs. Application shall be made at least seven (7) working days prior to the schedule. For the conduct of Remote Collection of Drug Testing Specimen, please refer to Bureau Circular No. 9, series of 2004.

3. Payment for the Permit for Remote Collection can be made directly to DOH Cashier or thru DOH-accredited bank/s.

4. A separate IDTOMIS Permit for Remote Collection Module shall be used during the remote collection.

E. Remote Collection Procedure

1. An approved Permit for Remote Collection is required for DTLs which intends to conduct remote collection activity (Please refer to Web-based application for Permit for Remote Collection).

2. DTLs shall be required to bring computer/laptop in the remote collection site. This is to enable the capture of the drug test client’s information, picture and biometric data.

3. Specimen collection shall be conducted in the remote collection site within the allowable period stated in the permit which is two (2) weeks from the date of issuance.

4. Actual drug testing, data entry and printing of result shall be done in the Drug Testing Laboratory.

F. Onsite Inspection/Survey

After payments are posted to the IDTOMIS, activities are as follows:

1. The BHFS shall notify the applicant via email, fax or SMS the scheduled date of inspection.
