I felt the same way as you about the hazards. I hadn't thought about the
what they signed before surgery. I will check into that.
Thanks

RE: [Histonet] Odd question
Formalin is a biohazard and I think there are restrictions on transporting
it anywhere (even home from the hospital). I know at past jobs, we did
not allow anything that had touched formalin to leave. It could be
potential for lawsuits if somehow it got injested, not to mention if they
saw something they didn't think was right? Doesn't your facility have
something the patient signs before surgery saying that anything removed
during surgery becomes property of the facility? This usually stops
things quickly?

Hi Histonetters,
Can anyone give me any idea of any laws
that guide giving a patient there organ after we have taken from it what
we need to do the Histology?
I know we have to keep it for a minimum of two weeks after sign out ( our
policy is 6 weeks after sign out ). But then we dispose of it as medical
waste.
Are any of you aware of any guidelines on giving a patient there entire
organ which would be submerged in formalin?
Help and thanks in advance :-)
