[Histonet] Cytology Staining

[Rene J Buesa]

You are right in many ways. Pap stain (now in its 62nd birthday!) is a routine stain that many labs do automated.
It seems that your inspector needed to "say something" as if "saying something" means "knowing more than you".
I know of no regulation that considers Papa stain as a complex task.

This inspector specifically referred to the pap stain (sorry I didn't make
this clear initially). We briefly chatted about what the difference would be
between the H&E and the pap stains as well as automation of both stains.
The inspector didn't seem to have more insight so I thought I'd ask the
real experts...you all.

Hello all. During an inspection yesterday, the inspector made a brief, vague
reference to cytology staining now being deemed "high complexity". Does
anyone have information and/or a reference for this? 
I'd appreciate any information anyone could provide.
Thanks a bunch.
