- DCM Perforated Cards
- Remove top deactivation barcoded strip and clearly write date on the space provided on front of the strip.
- Place barcoded deactivation strip in the Activation/Deactivation Drop Box.
- Sentinel Cards
- Every three weeks, Rodent Health Monitoring Personnel will gather all the sentinel cage cards when the sentinels are euthanized.
- After processing the cards in the RHMP office, they will deliver the used cage cards to the Barcoding Office in a rip-closure bag labeled with the date. These will need to be turned in and processed before the monthly close.
- After deactivation they will be placed in an outbox for pick-up by RHMP personnel.
