Subject: [MCOH-EH] ETOH Blood Testing

Good morning,
Our Employee Health Department is responsible for the blood ETOH testing for employees that require testing  for fit for duty/reasonable suspicion.
We drew the blood with a gray topped tube that we obtained from Quest.  The tubes have been delivered to us in a sealed box.  Quest is no longer providing the gray tubes in the manner. They sent us the tubes in a zip lock bag.  How do I prove that these  tubes have not been tampered with.   Has this been a challenge for your clinics? How have you overcome this challenge.

I appreciate your thoughts and time.
