RE: [Histonet] This is not Facebook

RE: [Histonet] Two Patient Identifiers on slides

The below statement is correct and our last Joint Commission inpector clarified that the 2 patient identifier rule only applies to the specimen containers coming in the door. Once they are accessioned in Path you can label slides and blocks with only the accession number and do not need the 2

RE: [Histonet] Blade Rationing Follow-up

I agree with you Pam. We changed from Accu Edge to the Thermo Premiers several years ago. The Thermo Premiers gives us the opportunity to cut more blocks than the Accu Edge. We love them!!! Dawn D. Schneider, HT(ASCP) Lead HT Howard Young Medical Center 240 Maple Ave. Woodruff, WI 54558

We do ours manually also (about 20 different antibodies). We use a combo of BioGenex and Dako. I like both set ups, but Dako is more expensive to perform than BioGenex. I like that you can buy the in dividual components from BioGenex instead of a whole ket from DAKO. Dawn -Original
