Description
Label a pathology report's supplied amendment and supersession information.
Pathology records connect specimens, blocks, slides, anatomical sites, processing timestamps and report versions. A recorded piece balance differs from verified tissue completeness, while cold-ischemia and fixation intervals describe distinct stages. Metadata and labels do not establish specimen adequacy, diagnosis, safe handling or report validity.
Label a pathology report's supplied amendment and supersession information.
When to use this tool
Use Pathology Amended Status Label when you already have reportId, amended, supersededVersion and need to label a pathology report's supplied amendment and supersession information.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter reportId, amended, supersededVersion. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label. Use the output convention below.
Require reportId nonempty; when amended=true require supersededVersion nonempty and append amended; supersedes version, otherwise not marked amended.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| reportId | Report Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| amended | Amended | Required. Boolean. |
| supersededVersion | Must be nonempty only when amended=true; no report version is authenticated. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

{
"input": {
"reportId": "R17",
"amended": true,
"supersededVersion": "v1"
},
"output": {
"label": "R17 [amended; supersedes v1]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No report is changed or version authenticated; a missing amendment marker is not proof of report currency or clinical validity.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile original accession, cassette, block and slide records when tracing a specimen. Review the full processing timeline and controlled report history for adequacy and version questions; a local count residual or displayed amendment label does not verify them.
