lirpamt 0 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 We are looking to move our kits to our serology department from micro for flu, strep and RSV. When we were CAP accredited (years ago), we were cited under MIC.19840 for not processing the specimens under the biosafety hood. We are currently JC and have been unable to find a similar standard. Do any of you process these specimens in your main labs? My issue is that these are performed in doctor's offices and clinics daily without a hood...why are we any different?

mrmic 48 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Can you provide the information stated in MIC.19840 ? Link to post Share on other sites
MARINA 10 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 If it's waived, don't you just have to establish IQCP and state safety measures in the policy... Link to post Share on other sites
lalamb 63 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 our clinics that have the Abbott ID Now use a splash guard, just like main lab. Our main lab cepheid and Biofire are set up under the hood. Our serology strep kit is still done on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites
