As I have found over the years the opinions and interpretation of CAP intent is differing. Everyone has how they see the question and think it to best be answered. I am not sure why it is not acceptable for the lab to run a control on the new lot and make sure it works and that is the QC/QA. The pathologist is the one that determines if the stain is acceptable for diagnosis. Some of the suggestions would be very time consuming and costly to do each new lot#.

I have not seen the new question but has anyone talked to CAP to get a clarification of what they mean on this question?

You just need to copy the protocol and save it as another number, then change the primary antibody to a prep kit sticker save again and then put that sticker on the dispenser. Then you need to print stickers for both protocols and stick them on two controls slides and run. I admit its a little bit of a pain.
