Generated Narrative: CodeSystem v3-EntityHandling

This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-EntityHandling defines the following codes in a Is-A hierarchy:

CodeDisplayDefinition
AMB Ambient TemperatureKeep at ambient temperature, 22 +/- 2C
C37 Body TemperatureCritical to keep at body temperature 36-38C
CAMB Critical Ambient temperatureCritical ambient - must not be refrigerated or frozen.
CATM Protect from AirCritical. Do not expose to atmosphere. Do not uncap.
CFRZ Critical frozenCritical frozen. Specimen must not be allowed to thaw until immediately prior to testing.
CREF Critical refrigerated temperatureCritical refrigerated - must not be allowed to freeze or warm until imediately prior to testing.
DFRZ Deep FrozenDeep Frozen -16 to -20C.
DRY dryKeep in a dry environment
FRZ frozenKeep frozen below 0 ?C
MTLF Metal FreeContainer is free of heavy metals, including lead.
NTR nitrogenKeep in liquid nitrogen
PRTL Protect from LightProtect from light (eg. Wrap in aluminum foil).
PSA do not shakeDo not shake
PSO no shockProtect against shock
REF Refrigerated temperatureKeep at refrigerated temperature:4-8C Accidental warming or freezing is of little consequence.
SBU Shake before useShake thoroughly before using
UFRZ Ultra frozenUltra cold frozen -75 to -85C. Ultra cold freezer is typically at temperature of dry ice.
UPR uprightKeep upright, do not turn upside down
