positively influences organizational commitment, productivity, life
satisfaction, and negatively influences burnout in the medical
laboratory.

medical laboratory in the US to participate. I am passionate about this
study because I believe the findings will add value to the medical
laboratory profession. Thank you for taking the time to participate.

[Histonet] RE: ThinPrep

[Yang, Mari]

Lisa,



If the ThinPrep processor is new to your organization, then the requirements 
below may apply.



CYP.05257


Implementation/Verification Protocol


Phase II




There is documentation of adherence to the manufacturer's recommended 
protocol(s) for implementation and verification of new instruments.

NOTE:  Before implementing use of new gynecologic liquid-based methods and 
instruments, automated preparations, and automated screening instruments, the 
laboratory must verify and document the functioning of the instrument in its 
own specific laboratory environment, including the capability of the instrument 
to replace existing procedure(s), if applicable.  If the manufacturer does not 
provide verification and instrument monitoring recommendations, the laboratory 
must document the specific verification procedure used.

Evidence of Compliance:

✓Records of completed instrument/method verification consistent with 
manufacturer's recommendations OR records of an alternative documented 
verification procedure approved by the section director

Hi Lisa,



I am not aware of a specific CAP regulation/question related to the validation 
of the ThinPrep processor.  However, there are general questions related to 
ensuring your devices are functioning as intended prior to using them on 
patient specimens.  This should have been done when the device was initially 
setup in the lab and with the help of the manufacturer.  They should help you 
verify that the instrument is working as designed.

RE: [Histonet] cytology control slides?

[Yang, Mari]

I don't think there is a requirement for control slides for Cytology, only when 
IHCs and special stains are required. CAP requires a mechanism for monitoring 
cross-contamination. For urine cytology, I would insert a blank slide with your 
staining rack, if you are batch staining to ensure there are no floaters or 
cross contamination. Have the cytotech review the blank slide. The cytotech 
should also be monitoring the stain quality daily. Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Mari

Hello all. During an inspection yesterday, the inspector made a brief, vague

anyone have information and/or a reference for this? 
I'd appreciate any information anyone could provide.
Thanks a bunch.
