Cold/Adulterated Specimen - An immediate,  observed collection,  is conducted by an observer of the same gender using a second CCF. 
Both the original specimen and the observed specimen will be sent to the lab for testing, The DER and the MRO are advised.  The DER and The MRO may receive 2 results Wait for both results before taking any action.

• The DER is contacted by the collector in the event of  a cold or dulterated specimen when the: No one of the same gender is available to conduct the observed colledtion

If the collector is unable to perform the observed collection because a collector of the same sex is unavailable, the DER will be asked to provide or assist in providing a same sex witness for the collection.

• If the donor is unable to provide during an observed collection but one or more attempts have been made, Shy bladder procedures will then begin with an observation on each attempt. 
• If the donor refuses to provide an observed specimen, the original specimen is discarded.
• The collector will advise the DER to follow the refusal to test (positive) procedures.
• The collector is required to notify the DER if the donor does not report for a scheduled collection, this is considered a refusal to test, which the DOTtreats with positive protocol.
