I do understand and sympathize with the situation in many clinical labs with
staff , sometimes barely enough to do the work and it is challenging to keep up
with expanding documentation also. I would like to meet the GLP, but do
struggle to be as extensive in my documentation. I do try to get a
Hello All
Coming from a GLP environment this type of equipment validation is standard in
our setting. This is just my opinion but I think the CAP checklist is moving
towards the type of equipment documentation that is already required in a GxP
or ISO environment. I always thought that instrum
I'm with you. There really appears to be no value to this particular
requirement.I would only be concerned with it if I had just purchased it,
or moved it into our lab from another location.

I agree with you in that CAP is just looking for things to change and doesn't
seem to be considering the change and decrease in staffing seen in clinical
settings. Cryostat validation? Reallycut a slide after you have cleaned and
pm'd the thing and go on. Good grief...I don't need any more p
PA's will work when the specimens are in the lab. As previously mentioned,
if it's a hospital only lab, then a conventional day shift would work.
After all, what surgeon wants to work past 4p? LOL!! However, if the lab
services a hospital, surgery centers, doctor offices, etc., the PA or PA's

I just received my midcycle CAP and for cryostat validation, we are
planning to cut and stain a piece of frozen tonsil and have the path
sign off on it. For the tissue processors, we will run a one minute test
program. I hope this will fly. Is it just me, or is CAP insanely out of
control with new
We have a medium GI lab using the old, old VIP's. We have been very successful
with two processing schedules, long and short. We found that we needed to add
a bit of heat to the last xylene so when the tissue hit the first paraffin,
they would start to infiltrate. The cold cassettes solidifie
What is everyone doing for IHC control tissue? My path that made my sausage
blocks is no longer here and reality has kicked in! I need to find a suitable
replacement. Is anyone making their own control block or "Sausage" without
using the microarray punch and paraffin block?
Thanks, Cheri

We are a small lab, avg. 200/blocks/day. Our PA comes in at 0800,
cleans up the gross room, cryostat, etc and usually starts with the
placenta's from the previous night's deliveries. Also, she does all the
frozen, and since our OR's start at 0730, we often have frozen by 0800
or soon after. I th
I'd appreciate a copy of that processing schedule for GI bxs as well.

Could someone please send me your processing schedule for GI bxs. We are using
a Sakura VIP5 and are having problems with over drying and occasionally with
infiltration of paraffin. Thanks

What I did recently for two new processors, conventional type-
I did parallel trial slides of multiple tissue types ( same types as patients)
for fixation, morphology , processing artifacts for 9 programs.
I grossed them in and recorded fixation times, type, thickness, overall

on function and verification of equipment?

Can anyone recommend a good slide warmer? The more slides it can hold, the
better.
Thanks,
