3 SPECIFIC TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCREDITATION OF ANATOMICAL PATHOLOGY 1 Introduction (a) This document describes the specific technical requirements to be complied by histopathology laboratories. (b) This document shall be read in conjunction with MS ISO Medical Laboratories - Particular Requirements for Quality and Competence and other specific criteria documents published by Department of Standards Malaysia (STANDARDS MALAYSIA). 2 Scope of accreditation The areas for which accreditation may be offered are listed below: 2.1 Diagnostic Histopathology 2.2 Intraoperative Frozen Sections 3 Terms and definition 3.1 Diagnostic histopathology - refers to examination of human tissue (macroscopic and microscopic) for the diagnosis and monitoring of disease. In relevant circumstances, this is supplemented by the use of special stains and/or other forms of examination, such as histochemical and immunohistochemical stains, electron microscopy and molecular techniques. 3.2 Intraoperative frozen sections - refers to the examination of human tissues removed during a surgical operation for the purpose of rapid diagnosis. This examination involves the production of smears from fresh tissues and/or histopathology sections from fresh frozen tissues as the initial step. This shall be followed by examination of routine paraffin sections made from the tissue, where relevant. Issue 3, 5 January 2007 Page 1 of 7
4 4 Personnel (clause 5.1 of MS ISO 15189) A histopathologist shall be a medical practitioner registered with the Malaysian Medical Council with a postgraduate qualification in pathology recognised by the Government of Malaysia and at least three years of training or working experience in histopathology whether as part of the pathology training programme or as a post-qualification experience. A medical laboratory technologist shall be a person with a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology or equivalent, and at least six months training in histopathology as part of the technology training programme or as post-qualification experience. A laboratory scientist shall be a person with a Bachelor of Biomedical Science Degree or equivalent, and at least six months training in histopathology as part of the training programme or as post-qualification experience. A technical assistant in histopathology shall be a person with appropriate practical experience and specific training to assist the medical laboratory technologist/laboratory scientist in the reception and registration of specimens, paraffin block microtomy, H&E staining, labeling and cross-checking of stained slides against the corresponding paraffin blocks. Only technical personnel with at least five years working experience in histopathology may be appointed as key technical personnel in the histopathology laboratory. 5 Accommodation and environmental conditions (clause 5.2 of MS ISO 15189) 5.1 Working environment There should be a separate room or dedicated area with adequate ventilation/fume extraction system for macroscopic examination and cutting (grossing) of fresh tissue as well as formalinfixed specimens Appropriate extraction systems shall be in place to minimise the level of noxious vapours Infectious material should be handled in a safety cabinet. Issue 3, 5 January 2007 Page 2 of 7
5 5.1.4 Examination of histopathology slides and dictation of reports shall be in an area free of distraction and noise that can affect the concentration of the personnel. 5.2 Storage There shall be adequately ventilated space for the storage of wet specimens The periods for retention of specimens shall comply with existing national guidelines Inflammable and dangerous substances shall be stored in a separate chemical store, and shall comply with relevant national regulations. 5.3 Disposal of chemicals and tissues Harmful chemicals such as formalin, xylene, diaminobenzidine and discarded tissues (including their effluents such as cysts and intestinal contents) shall be disposed in a manner so as not to contaminate or endanger the environment or the public. 6 Laboratory equipment (clause 5.3 of MS ISO 15189) 6.1 Grossing of specimens shall be performed under a fume hood. For extraction of formalin vapours, a down-draft system is preferable. 6.2 The fume hood shall have its airflow monitored regularly, its filters changed when saturated and the extract ducting checked for leakage according to manufacturer s specifications. 6.3 If a filter system is not used, the exhaust pipe of fume hoods shall be above the roof of the building where the laboratory is located. In the case where another building taller than the laboratory building is located in close vicinity to the laboratory, the exhaust pipe of fume hoods (if no filter system is used), shall be above the roof of that taller building. 6.4 Tissue processing fluids shall be changed regularly and records maintained. 6.5 The temperature of wax baths (e.g. in embedding centres and tissue processors) shall be checked before use and records maintained.
