We had a rubber stamp made that we use on the heading of the breast when we get
the specimen. It looks like this : Time Tissue Obtained:_________
Time Tissue Placed in Formalin________
Total Time Tissue in Formalin__________
Cold Ischemia: Met/ NOT met (we circle the appropriate one)
All of this information is included on the bottom of the Pathology report.

Subject: [Histonet] Cold Ischemic time
Hi histo land!
Referencing CAP requirement ANP.22983, how do you all document cold ischemic
time? Do you have a "macro" that the pathologists input or a disclaimer? We
were recently inspected and we include a "disclaimer" in the reports that the
time is less than one hour, but the inspector said that it was not "Accurately
documented in the report"...I want to fix this this, of course but wondered if
you all had any guidance such that I don't try and recreate the wheel. Thank
you for your time!
Cristi
