Hi Lynne Bell I also keep all my slides even blocks which was used for validation, the CAP inspectors sometimes request to see them.
I agree with you Joe W. Walker I am also using the same Slides Holder Best Regards, Jamal M.

For the past 5 years, we have kept all of the slides from our validation studies along with the paperwork in a notebook. These glass slide holders have worked well for keeping everything together in one place for inspections: http://www.rochester100.com/store/p/195-SL-3-182.aspx Interestingly enough, on a recent Joint Commission inspection last year, an inspector made a similar request to see an example of an IHC that we had validated.

Has anyone had CAP actually ask to see your slides? I feel that keeping the validation forms, signed off by the medical director, is sufficient, but I would like other opinions. As always, thanks for any and all guidance!
