[Histonet] P16-melanoma...HELP

[Kim Tournear]

Hi,
  I work for a dermatology clinic. We also do our own pathology/histology....I have a question regarding the P16-Melaris test (blood draw) for Hereditary Cancer Genetic Testing....we have received the kit to draw the blood (purple tube), paper work, etc from the Vendor (Myriad)....We are CLIA regulated (for the histo lab as well), but I need to know if there are any specific rules (CLIA) to follow (other than a send out procedure) for the nurses to be able draw the blood from the patient? If I could get some help on this ASAP, I would greatly appreciate it. The vendor will be here for lunch today....
   
  Thanks so much....
