[Histonet] Leica Peloris II processor validation

[Michelle Wahlsten]

Hi everyone, 

I'm currently in process of validating the Peloris II for our lab, my first instrument validation so I'm a bit lost as to what specifically I need to do and document.  Other than running specimens through the specific protocols to verify the quality of the specimen with a pathologist's review and/or sign-off, I feel that there is more that I need to do but I'm not sure what that is.  Can anyone share with me their experience of the validation process and/or suggestions as to what else I need or what I'm missing??

In addition to the instrument validation itself, we also need to validate IHC use on the Peloris, per one of our pathologist's.  How many antibodies, controls or panels should we be doing to satisfy the 'validation' process for IHC??  Any information will be helpful, thank you so much!!
