This note should be removed from printed TRF when material that does NOT require preapproval is selected. The note should only be present for material that DOES require preapproval: Culture-Mixed Culture, Culture-Non-Viable Culture, Sediment- Sediment-AFB Negative, Other. P.S.: on the website version of TRF the corresponding note is absent for the material selection that doesn't require preapproval, which is an expected behavior. See Image >>

UPDATE/CHANGE:

Make pre-approval question mandatory for mixed/non-viable cultures

When select Material Submitted "Culture" - Culture type "Mixed" or "non-viable", the question "Material approved by CDPH" should be mandatory (with no default selection).

Remove the pop-up note "Sample should be sent to CDC for MDDR and not to MDL for sequencing-based DST"

• QUESTION: Should the list of reasons for “Indicate reason(s) for sequencing-based DST below, if applicable” always be visible? Or should this list be visible if one of the test request is selected? And if so, which test?

Answer: List of AOEs should always be visible
