[Histonet] QC records

[Amber McKenzie]

I was wondering how long to keep all my QC log sheets...so CAP is 2 years?  Does anyone know about CLIA's rules?

I would say the same time as you keep your other QC records.  CAP requires 
QC records to be kept for 2 years.  Your state or individual institution 
may have longer retention times.

"Quality control records, including instrument printouts: at least 2 
years."

The same time you have to keep your "case slides" because in the event of 
"legal dispute" where the staining may become "an issue" you have to 
produce the H&E control used along with the batch including the "disputed 
case".
