When I called CAP they told me to record the results I got as long as my controls stained properly...and we did.

That's a GOOD point - specimen unsatisfactory is this issue.

I called CAP and they said to leave the result area blank, mark the bubble for "unable to analyze (11)", and to write an explanation on the last page. My pathologist is questioning why we wouldn't mark "specimen unsatisfactory (33)." What are others that had light staining doing and/or what have you been told by CAP? CAP also told me that they didn't have any replacement slides to send out.
