Mark kits as ready for destruction at the site or at a depot

If the study requires kit reconciliation and the site is drug destruction capable, you must mark the kits as ready for destruction. This procedure also applies to rollover studies.

Shipments are created based on the temperature requirements for the kits. For example, if you mark a refrigerated kit and a frozen kit as Pending Destruction, one shipment is created for the refrigerated kit, and another shipment is created for the frozen kit. If the return shipments don't have temperature requirements, consider combining multiple packing lists in one shipment.

If the depot that sent the kits to the site is drug destruction capable, the kits are sent back to that depot. If multiple depots ship kits to a site, and all depots are drug destruction capable, kits are sent back to their originating depots for destruction.

If the depot that sent the kits isn't drug destruction capable, the kits are sent to the depot that is marked as a drug destruction facility and that is associated with the country that the site is in.

You must verify all kits that were returned to the site. For more information, see Verify returned kits to confirm and correct site reconciliation.

1. Access the Site Inventory tab
2. From the Site drop-down, select a site.
3. Use the Status drop-down to filter the view so you see only the kits that are ready for destruction. For example, you might select all statuses except Available, Dispensed, In Transit, and Missing, though you might select Available if the site is shut down.
   For more information, see Filter kits in a site's inventory.
4. Select the kits that are ready for destruction.
5. On the Inventory Management side panel, click Update Kits.
6. From the Kit Status drop-down, select Pending Destruction.
7. If you have one or more Drug-Destruction Facility in the country, you can choose to return the kit to any destruction depot, regardless if it was the depot that initially dispensed the kits.
   From the Send Option drop-down, select:
   • Send back to a supply depot.
   • Send to a destruction facility and select the destruction facility from the drop-down.
8. Enter the number of Total Returned Units and Total Missing Units in the fields.
9. Enter a Reason For Change in the text box.
10. Click Submit.
11. Next, do one of the following:
    • If the site is drug-destruction capable, click Update Kit.
    • If the kits need to be shipped to a depot that is a drug destruction facility, click Update & Ship Kit.

• If the site is drug destruction capable, the site can destroy the kits and mark them as Destroyed.
• If the site isn't drug destruction capable, one or more shipments are created for the kits you selected for destruction. You have to ship the kits to the drug destruction depot identified in the shipments. For more information, see Ship kits to a drug destruction depot.
