[Histonet] re: New CAP question

[Rene J Buesa]

First excuse me if I don't e-mail you personally because I am a firm believer that the answers should be for all to share.
 
The question is explained in the "Note" and this means that you have to give instructions to all those providing you samples as to how to collect them, send them to you, etc.
This should be part of your Cytology SOP.

Does anyone have any insight on this question as to what they are expecting to see?  Personally email me if you have any insight.

Are instructions distributed to physicians and paramedical personnel for proper collection, handling, transportation, and preparation of cytologic and tissue specimens?



NOTE: Instructions should be documented for all applicable tissue and cytologic specimens, including biopsies, resections, Pap tests, sputum, washings, brushings, body fluids, fine needle aspirations, etc. These instructions must be included in the procedure or user manuals at all sites where specimens are collected (e.g., nursing stations, clinics, physicians' offices).  Instructions must include proper fixation of slides and tissue specimens.

Thanks in advance!
