[Histonet] Block Storage

[Kim Donadio]

You dont send your blocks out when you send your slides to be interpreted for the professional component do you? Ive never seen that done personally.What I have seen is the lab that created the blocks stored themand just sent slides out to be read. And if it were me in this position I'd say keep for 20 years since NY requires that, because the Pathologist (In NY) reading out your cases may be called upon to produce other testing etc for those cases he/she read out in NY and the material would need to be available. Just my 2cents worth.

Does anyone know if a laboratory in NJ is required to keep the blocks they perform Technical component  on if they do not perform the professional component....or should they have the facility performing the professional component store them?  Who is ultimately responsible? Ann
