VTN
The VTN preset project has these requirements.
Data entry requirements
| Field | Required? | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ID1 (PID) | Required | LDMS checks that the PID is valid. Must be 9 or 10 characters. A PID cannot be changed without approval from VTN Laboratory Leadership. |
| ID2 (Protocol) | Required | LDMS checks that the PID and protocol combination are valid. |
| ID3 | Disabled | -- |
| Visit | Required | Use VST for routine HIV diagnostic visits, otherwise use the appropriate visit unit. This visit unit is used by certain laboratories for driving testing algorithms. |
| OPID | Disabled | -- |
| Clinic | Required | The clinic is automatically populated based on the PID; the same clinical location can be associated with multiple clinic IDs (e.g. for Phase I/II or Phase II/III). VTN clinics start with the letter V (such as V101 instead of 101). LDMS will verify that a VTN clinic was selected. |
| Specimen Time | Required | -- |
| Received Time | Required | -- |

- Within VTN, LDMS Shipping files are sometimes called “e-manifests”.
- Barcodes must be printed on labels for VTN specimens.
- Quick Add templates are not permitted for VTN specimens.
- Information for study CoVPN 5001 should be logged under VTN study 5001.
