CAP has requirement for 2 identifiers on slides for intra-operative, such as
frozen sections only as far I know. That's for slides since the case may not
yet have an accession #. The blocks, 2 identifiers.
For specimen integrity though, ( CAP required all over the place) you really
want two

Check CAP questions again, I am going to as well. We got caught on the two
identifiers for
frozen section slides, made all kinds of changes, but when we checked our new
questions the
questions was gone. We have not gone back to our old ways but just an FYI.

The error here occurred when writing the number on the slide,...
From experience I know that the hand-written label is the glaring weak link.
There are so many ways to do that wrong! Mis-numbering happens all the time by
transposing numbers, leaving a number off, being illegible, and just
How do other facilities determine which physician receives a copy of the final
pathology report.Is it indicated on the requisition and if so what
information are you requesting so the correct physician receives the report.
Thanks

We are trying to locate a new compressor for a Thermofisher 620 E cryostat that
is around 7-8 years old. We are working through a third party service
department and am getting conflicting information on whether there are still
parts for this instrument. I have asked my Thermfisher rep but

Don't know specifics about your medical limitations, however the current issue
of Micro-Graf, the newsletter publication from the Michigan society, has a
great piece about ergonomics and that goes specifically into histology tasks
and ergonomic concerns. I am pretty sure this article

Hi Richard
This will depend on the working hours of your lab. The hospital I work in now
performs renal and liver transplants. Clinicians know that they must have
their biopsies in the lab by 1pm for a same day result including all of the
special stains. In this lab the lab staff work
Hi Richard,
Unfortunately we do not have a cut-off time for urgent transplant biopsies (its
seems a kid's hospital is different).
We microwave process kidney, lung and liver biopsies, about 30 minutes in
total, though if we can get away with it we extend this by 30 minutes for more
fixation,
