The disclaimer is only for ASR antibodies. They don't have to be labeled
"experimental" because a CLIA certified lab has full capability and
authority to validate any antibody they want to use for any purpose. You
do have to document your validation procedure and results.

You can also use RUO antibodies under CLIA regs as long as you do the
full documented validation. Interestingly there is no suggested
disclaimer for RUO antibodies.

reports

What is the current practice for meeting this regulation?  Is a general
statement (disclaimer) placed on all pathology reports that have
immunocytochemistry and/or FISH and ISH or is the disclaimer placed only
on the reports where the class 1 ASR antibody or nucleic acid have been
used?

Thanks for your input?
