About this file

This document is a mandatory specifications exhibit for the Oklahoma Metabolic Disorder Screening Kit ODH #450 REV. 10/2018. The specifications detail requirements for vendors to produce medical screening kits used for newborn metabolic disorder testing. The vendor must be FDA-registered for printing in vitro medical diagnostic devices (N 1,281,317) and comply with FDA Good Manufacturing Practices. The kit consists of a multi-page form including demographic entry, chart copy, parent information pages, and specialized filter paper for blood specimen collection. The forms are packaged in bundles of 100 in numerical order, with specific printing requirements for different colored pages, inks, and quality control testing of the filter paper matrix.

The specifications outline detailed technical requirements for the filter paper (S&S 903 or equivalent), including basis weight, pH levels, absorption rates, and printing specifications. The ink must not interfere with analytical test procedures for various metabolic disorders. The document provides comprehensive formatting requirements including page sizes, print fonts, barcode specifications, and precise locations for serial numbers. Each kit must be serially numbered starting with 1976336 and include corresponding barcodes. The filter paper must meet strict quality control standards for blood absorption time (12 seconds target, 5-30 seconds range) and spot diameter (16mm target, 15-17mm range).
