[Histonet] Prostate Bx's

[S R]

Good Morning Everyone,

I was wondering for those of you working in POL labs or even hospitals, if you are pre-lableing specimen bottles before the patient comes in?  Ie 12 part prostate boxes have the patient's name and the bx site pre-made days or weeks before the patient comes in.  If not do you know of any documentation that states this should not be done.  I have been looking for something that says the bottles should not be pre-labeled before the patient is seen, but have unfortunatley have not been able to find any.  

thanks in advanced
