Martha,
I spoke to Joan at CAP just yesterday regarding this question. I too, am
getting ready for CAP, so I feel your pain!
She said you can use the benchmarks in the notes under the question in the
checklist or you can used other published articles that offer benchmark data.
Just state what your reference is and where it is from. She also said you can
use proficiency testing data.
Hope this helps,
Wanda

Subject: [Histonet] CAP question ANP.22970
We are having our inspection this spring and I am working to get all our
procedures, etc. ready. I am having trouble finding benchmark information for
comparison for HER2 to comply with this question - ...the laboratory at least
annually compares its patient results with published benchmarks, We are
using the Dako Herceptest. I spoke with Dako tech services and they did not
have any information. What are other labs using for a benchmark.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
