ABSTRACT:
This invention is a method and means to prevent tampering when urine specimens are donated for testing and to do so without violating privacy. The method is to require that the hands of the donor subject be continuously engaged while the specimen container is exposed, so as not to allow the subject's hands the physical freedom necessary to introduce a false specimen into a urine container. The mans of the invention is a device that ensures that the engagement is properly followed or that shows any failure to comply. The preferred device consists of a container holder with two separate parts that lock together to make a container inaccessible to a subject. The process of hand engagement unlocks the two parts to make the container accessible. Disengagement of the hand restriction while the two units are separated relocks the mechanism and blocks reassembly.
