CAP question ANP.22750 

Are records maintained for evaluation of new antibody lots and new antibodies introduced into the laboratory?

Are we really expected to test new antibody lots for pre-diluted antibodies that are run on an automated stainer?  It seems to me this would refer more to concentrated antibodies that have to be titrated.  Is the pathologist's documentation that the control was ok for that particular antibody good enough?
