[Histonet] Block Storage

[Rene J Buesa]

Regardless where the blocks are generated, that private lab has to follow state regulations. That will be a legal matter related to any possible law suit after an alleged misdiagnosis.
If the private lab has no available space, there are companies that can store blocks and slides for as long they are paid to retain them.

Rene I think this question is eluding to a Physician owned lab and who is responsible for storing the blocks not how long they are retained?

Depending on the state regulations and the laboratory policies,blocks are stored during different periods of time before being discarded. I used to store them for 9 years.

This is a very sticky issue, when I setup inhouse labs I always present the argument that during inspections the lab that produces a report should have access to all test material which includes blocks and slides per the CAP checklist.
Ann trying approaching it from that angle.

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 _______________________________________________
