Do most people return tissue, bone, and hardware to patients? Please advise.

Good afternoon!  I was wondering if anyone out there is using the new Roche 
stainer/coverslipper, the H&E 600?  We are possibly considering purchasing one 
and wanted to ask if anyone out there is currently using this model, and if so, 
what are your thoughts?



Thank you,

Re: [Histonet] cold ischemic time

[Terri Braud via Histonet]

Hi Cristi - 
We have a large breast practice and we worked with the surgeons and surgical 
staff to include on the requisition:
"Collect time"
"Time in formalin"
Then at gross, the PA or pathologist grossing calculates "Cold Ischemic Time" 
and "Duration of Fixation"
All breast specimens are handled as STAT so that larger specimens can be 
dissected for a block of any residual tumor to be placed in Fixative. 
 If this is done, we calculate "Cold Ischemic Time" and  "Time in Formalin" 
from that moment.
This is all reported through a Macro.  If there is any deviation from the 
fixation guidelines (which are also printed on the report through the same 
macro) then we record the deviation and disclaimer through the "Notes" section 
on the report.
This is all laid out in our policy/procedure for breast reporting.
I hope this helps, Terri

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!

Re: [Histonet] Cold Ischemic time

[Cates, Julia via Histonet]

Hi Cristi,

We have the PA/Pathologist dictate the Ischemic time and total fixation time at 
the end of the gross. It reads something like, "The specimen has an ischemic 
time of 1 hour and is allowed to fix for 48 hours".  As long as it documents 
both times you should be fine.

Thanks,
