A non-powered portable device designed for the transportation of clinical specimens contained within receptacles (e.g., glass vials, bottles, tubes, slides, swabs) from the point of collection to the laboratory or between medical institutions. It is typically designed to be liquid-tight with a shock-absorbing foam liner to protect the contents from adverse conditions that could cause breakage and to absorb any escaped fluid. It is available in a variety of designs whereby it may be thermally insulated and might include a non-powered cold pack(s). This is a reusable device.
