[Histonet] Cold Ischemic time

[Cates, Julia]

Hi Cristi,

We have the PA/Pathologist dictate the Ischemic time and total fixation time at the end of the gross. It reads something like, "The specimen has an ischemic time of 1 hour and is allowed to fix for 48 hours".  As long as it documents both times you should be fine.

Thanks,
