TEST DELAY
There is currently a national shortage of STI test kits and laboratory supplies which impacts Michigan Medicine testing as follows:
- Urine STI testing requires an Aptima Urine transport. Urines that are received in a cup (not in Aptima transport) will be cancelled. The Aptima Urine Collection kit is not available and on indefinite back order.
- MLabs will supply the Aptima MultiTest Specimen Collection kit for Non-Urine STI testing due to unavailability of the Unisex kit. The MultiTest kit can be used for Urogenital, Oral, and Rectal specimens. Supplies are limited so we ask that you prioritize testing as recommended by the CDC.
Please refer to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance and resources during disruption of STD clinical services at https://www.cdc.gov/std/prevention/disruptionGuidance.htm for recommendations regarding test prioritization for your patients. MLabs tests that are effected are as follows:
