3 Report all results

• Limited Service Laboratory Registrants are required to report results of all blood lead tests to the Department of Health within five business days of the date of analysis. The report must include:

• The subject's name, date of birth, race, gender, address, county of residence, type of sample (venous or fingerstick), and blood-lead level
• The health care practitioner ordering the test, laboratory identifiers, the date the sample was collected, and the date of analysis.
• In addition, to facilitate timely follow-up, it is recommended that reports include parent or guardian information (for children < 18 years of age) or employer information (for adults).

• If a child's (under age 18) blood-lead level is > 45 μg/dL, you must notify the local health department within 24 hours of analysis or notification by the laboratory.

• Public Health Law requires Limited Service Laboratory Registrants to report via the Electronic Clinical Laboratory Reporting System (ECLRS), which will require access to the Health Commerce System (HCS). NYSDOH staff will be contacting Limited Service Laboratories on record as performing blood lead testing to facilitate HCS enrollment and ECLRS reporting. In the interim, Limited Service Laboratories may report manually.
