What qualifies as a STAT medical courier delivery?

STAT delivery covers any urgent medical transport that cannot wait for a scheduled route. Common cases include specimen runs to reference laboratories, organ transport for transplant cases, urgent surgical instrument or implant delivery, and emergency pharmaceutical handoffs.

How quickly can Trius respond to a STAT request?

In core markets, Trius dispatches within 30 minutes of an authorized STAT request. Response time varies by region: under 2 hours in Washington and Northern California, under 3 hours in Oregon, and under 4 to 6 hours in Idaho and Montana.

Do you provide chain-of-custody documentation for STAT deliveries?

Yes. Every STAT pickup includes verified chain of custody from the moment Trius takes possession through final handoff. Documentation includes scanned barcodes, photo verification, signature confirmation, and timestamped GPS tracking.

Is STAT service available 24/7?

Yes. The Trius STAT line at (253) 231-0615 is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. A real person answers, not a menu or callback queue, because middle-of-the-night STAT cases cannot wait.

How is STAT delivery priced compared to scheduled service?

STAT pricing reflects priority dispatch and dedicated routing. Quotes are provided in advance with no surge fees or after-hours markups. The Tuesday rate equals the Friday-midnight rate.

Medical Terminology

What is STAT?

STAT is a medical term derived from the Latin word "statim," meaning "immediately" or "at once." In medical logistics, STAT indicates the highest level of urgency for specimen transport, diagnostic testing, and medical equipment delivery.

Immediate Response

STAT orders require immediate attention and response, typically within 30 minutes or less. This urgency is critical for time-sensitive medical procedures and emergency situations.

Medical Priority

STAT deliveries take precedence over all other non-emergency medical courier services. They are essential for critical patient care, organ transplants, and emergency diagnostics.

Regulatory Compliance

STAT deliveries must meet strict regulatory requirements including chain of custody, temperature monitoring, and documentation standards for medical specimen integrity.

Decision Guide

When to Use STAT Delivery

Use STAT service when a delay creates clinical risk, disrupts treatment, or compromises specimen integrity. If the item cannot wait for a scheduled run, it belongs in an immediate-response workflow.

Request STAT When

The delivery decision is tied to patient care, diagnosis, or procedure timing.

Avoid Routine Routing When

A missed pickup window would force re-draws, treatment delays, or equipment downtime.

Critical Specimens

Immediate

Time-sensitive blood, tissue, or diagnostic samples that must reach the lab without compromising turnaround or viability.

Organs and Tissue

Time Critical

Transplant-related transport where every minute affects coordination, viability, and the downstream care team.

Urgent Equipment

Operational

Medical devices, pumps, or specialty components needed to keep procedures on schedule or restore clinical operations.

Pharma and Supplies

Patient Impact

Emergency pharmaceuticals or life-saving supplies needed to prevent treatment interruption or escalation of care.
