CRF and Sample Request Forms
All patient visits require a completed CRF and all samples require a completed sample request form.
If you are in any doubt about which forms you should be using, please contact the main coordinating site. The current version of the CRFs is 10.
The version of Sample Request Form you require depends on whether your site is using CAPTURE and generating sample numbers, or whether you are using the paper CRFs - for these the sample IDs are generated at the Central Site. Sites are still using the paper CRF should be using version 4 of the respective sample request forms. Those doing data entry on CAPTURE should use version 5.
