We do the same.. all hospitals are listed at the end of the report.. the site 
where the slides are read is located next to the pathologist electronic

External Email: CAUTION

We currently have a "performing location" listed on our reports. CAP is telling 
me that if you have technical work at one lab, and sign out/Interp at another 
lab, you must list both on the report.
We are a multiple facility where my lab does our own work, but will be 
performing technical work for another hospital in our health system. I also 
have a bigger hospital that will be doing this for different facilities. So 5 
facilities in total.
Thoughts on how to handle this? We are thinking a generic disclaimer but it's 
going to be lengthy! Hope my explanation made sense?!

We do not assist

 but do go in and perform a frozen section, if this is the assistance they are

 Hello all.this is an on-going topic with our lab. 

 

If anyone can comment about your experience with paraffin waste, I appreciate 
that in advance. 

 

Does your lab or state requirements classify paraffin waste as "hazardous, 
bio-hazardous, RCRA or other"?  Do you dispose as part of Red Bag trash for 
autoclave or tissue pathology waste or other hazardous waste for incineration?

I believe it will be difficult to afford the cost of Co-Path in your small lab 
area, unless you can attach to a bigger hospital information system contract. I 
suggest you look to companies that have developed products for the small to 
medium sized histology labs.

Subject: [Histonet] Bar Code and Tracking

Hello,
I manage a small Pathology lab where we generate approx. 80-140 blocks for 
Histo and 5-6 Cytology fluids a day. I have 2 Histotechs that swap doing 
grossing monthly. I have 1 full time and 1 part time Cytotech and a Cyto 
assistant. I am curious if there are any smaller labs out there that have gone 
to a Bar Code and Tracking system and can offer any input. I came from a much 
larger lab that used CoPath from accessioning to sign-out, so that is the kind 
of system I am used to. It is certainly a system I wish to integrate in to my 
lab on a much smaller level, we currently have a very manual process, other 
than some entry/labeling in our LIS.
Any input is appreciated! Tanya

Histos,


I have a question. We are a Derm POL and we recently opened a satellite office. 
I have been putting the satellite address on the pathology requisitions but do 
the path reports need to have that address or the address of the main lab where 
they were processed.  Bacisly does CLIA want the address where the specimen was 
from, or the address where it was processed.


Thank You,

Re: [Histonet] Ventana H.Pylori antibody

We also are having the same problem with the Ventana H.Pylori antibody on our 
Ultras, I have tried the CellMarque product in the past and as mentioned still 
not ideal. Will try the Biocare product and see if the results improve for us 
also.

Hi Julia-  I have had a lot of experience trying to get a clean H. pylori.  I 
don't recall using the Ventana H. pylori but I was using the CellMarque H. 
pylori for years.  It would often have a lot of background as you describe.  I 
run Ventana Benchmarks (XT and Ultra) and a Leica Bond.  The slides I would run 
on the Benchmarks were usually cleaner than those run on the Bond but still not 
as clean as I would like. I finally switched over to BioCare's H. pylori after 
many complaints from my pathologists.  It has been much cleaner on all of my 
IHC instruments.  Actually, the ones I run on the Ultra are the cleanest I have 
ever seen.  The slides run on the Bond may still have a little background but 
it is still much cleaner than the ones I used to run with the CellMarque 
antibody.  One of my pathologists who used to complain about the excessive 
background now calls it his go to stain and is very happy with how crisp it 
is. The organisms stand out very nicely.  BioCare will send you a 
 free sample if you want to try it.

Good day Histonet,

I have seen in the past conversations regarding Ventana's H.Pylori antibody and 
how dirty looking the stain can be.  We have been using this antibody for 
several years now and have never really been happy with the quality.  We have 
tried the recommended methods to clean up the stain and still we run into 
repeating the stain and/or complaints from the pathologists.  We are 
considering using a different vendor but my concern is that my efforts will be 
a lateral move.  Is anyone using a product that produces a clean stain or is 
this something inherent to this antibody?  Are the pathologists happy with it 
and not just tolerating it?

Thank you for your suggestions,
