Your baby’s information will be known by the New York State newborn screening team and the ScreenPlus team.
If the ScreenPlus result is abnormal, your baby’s blood sample may be shared with a different ScreenPlus laboratory for extra, “second tier,” newborn screening testing, which is performed to assure the result is as accurate as possible. Depending on the additional testing required, this lab may be located in another state, such as Mayo Clinic in Minnesota or the Gelb Lab at the University of Washington. If we need to send the sample to another lab, all information that might identify your baby will be removed, and the sample will be sent only with a unique Study Number to protect your privacy.
