Hi All,
Would anyone tell me what their lab procedure is for handling fetal demise placentas? In previous jobs sites, the histotech and/or PA would read the requisition and determine if there may be later DNA testing ordered. If yes, put in fridge and contact pathologist and/or physician. If not, place in formalin. Currently, our PA automatically places every placenta in formalin.... Kind regards, Maria Katleba HT(ASCP), MS Pathology Dept. Mgr.
