[Histonet] RE: QC Slide retention

2013-03-05 Thread Laurie Colbert
We keep ours long enough to fill up a 100-slide box and then dump the oldest 
ones.  We do have a separate chart where we document daily that the HE slide 
is checked, and this is kept for at least two years along with our other QC 
(temps, processor rotation, etc) charts.

How long do you folks retain you Daily QC slides?  Is it the same as the 
diagnostic slides?  I know the correct length of time for diagnostic slides 
in my particular area, but I wasn't sure if the same timeline applies to the 
actual daily HE or PAP QC slides. Is the retention of the actual 
documentation that I have of the quality of these stains each day sufficient? 
 I looked thru the archives, but could only find the previous discussions on 
Diagnostic slides.  Thanks Histonetters!!
