[Histonet] Medica DI water system with Symphony

[Histology Technician via Histonet]

 Just curious to see if any of you have a Medica DI water system with your 
symphony?  I was wondering what QA/QC I need to do to it and an SOP.  I'm the 
only lab in my building, so if I have to test the water, I'd have to take it to 
a nearby hospital.  Thanks!  This is the first DI water system I've had in the 
lab and I'm not sure where to start with the maintenance.

[Histonet] Price gun

[Histology Technician via Histonet]

  I was thinking of using a price gun to date my supplies when they come in, 
but I can't find one to buy.  Any ideas where to search for one?What do you 
guys use to date your supplies?  I've always used a pen to write the rcd date 
and my initials but thought a price gun would be quicker and neater :)
Thanks!

[Histonet] Do you check humidity and room temp for your daily QC in the lab?

[Histology Technician via Histonet]

 Does anyone check humidity and room temp as your QC?  If so, can you share you 
procedure and QC form?  Do you use a company or do you monitor it yourself?
Thanks!

 Vantage users, what do you find most useful with using vantage?  Do you use it 
for just labeling purposes or do you find the reports helpful and what do you 
have on your home page that you find useful?
Thanks!

Re: [Histonet] Please post

[Histology Technician via Histonet]

Co-path users...how do you assign cases to your Pathologists?  I have 3 Paths 
and the senior Path comes in early and divides the cases up himself, but 
starting in Jan we are going to start assigning cases to each path when we 
accession a case.  Any thoughts on how to do this smoothly?
Thanks!

[Histonet] Gross Room QC

[Histology Technician via Histonet]

 I just made up a QC sheet for my Gross Room and I'm having a hard time finding 
a spot to keep it :)  Do I tape it on the wall by the Grossing Station or put a 
magnet on it attaching to the grossing table... Any ideas?
Thanks!

[Histonet] Log sheet for cutting control slides

[Histology Technician]

 Does anyone have a protocol for cutting control slides?  We are a GI lab and 
use patient tissue as our Gastric control for HP's and the past couple of 
months we've had a bad control block pulled (turned out to be colon) and had to 
repeat a lot.  Thought about doing a log sheet for the tech to date, sign off 
on, list the block # cut, and get the path to sign off on a test slide before 
we use that block for a control.  Any thoughts?
Thanks!

[Histonet] Ventana antibody - H pylori

[Histology Technician]

 Does anyone else have constant problems with the Ventana antibody H pylori 
having a dirty background stain?  My pathologists are constantly complaining 
about it and when I call CS I get the same response...decon the instrument, try 
a new lot number, etc... it's never truly resolved.  Any thoughts?  Thanks!

 Hello all,

Does anyone have a training log or competency list that they would be willing 
to share with me for an absolute beginner to hands on histology. I have 
previously trained people with limited experience but never from scratch 
(straight from university). I am keen not to miss the basic lab skills that 
I've previously taken for granted.

Thank you in advance

[Histonet] Co-path users logging Slides in

[Histology Technician]

  Those of you who use Co-path, how do you log slides from outside hospitals?  
I see where you log slide Send outs, do you log incoming slides the same way?  
I'm trying to figure out how to keep track of my slide consult slides  - when I 
received them, how many I received, when I sent them back to the original 
hospital, etc...
Thanks!

Re: [Histonet] assigning pathologists cases for satellite labs

Does anyone have a Medica Evoqua that you'd like to share the SOP?  I just got 
it and don't know much about it yet. Thanks!

 Hello out in Histoland!
I have questions regarding the triaging of case slides for delivery to 
satellite facilities where pathologists will interpret slides.
Our LIS system is available at all sites for ordering deepers/special 
stains/IHC, etc. so we have that covered.

We currently do not have digital pathology (yet!) so slides must be delivered 
to several hospital sites where pathologists are working. Can you all help with 
thoughts regarding pre-assigning pathologists to cases so that everyone in the 
lab knows where those slides are supposed to go? We've never assigned 
pathologists before, it was always first come, first served.

How do you all deliver (in a timely fashion) cases to satellite facilities and 
determine who gets what for general work vs specialists (dermatopathologists)?
It gets pretty chaotic back in our lab trying to figure out who gets what and 
where are they today. . .

Oh, and they all want the slides by 7 a.m. ;)

Thank you in advance for the advice-
