[Histonet] CAP Question anp.23075

[Morken, Tim - Labvision]

My interpretation is that they want to see whether someone has actively
reviewed the instrument/equipment maintenance sheets and signed them. For
instance, does the histology or lab supervisor review freezer temperature
log sheets weekly and sign the sheet to prove they have? That would show
"evidence of ongoing evaluation." Even better, has the supervisor made any
notes on the sheet as to modifications in temp settings? That would be icing
on the cake - showing that someone was actually paying attention.
 
Have fun!

Subject: [Histonet] CAP Question anp.23075
 
I'm having my CAP inspection soon and wondered what is meant by this
question.
 
Is there EVIDENCE of ongoing evaluation of results of instrument maintenance
a nd function for all devices?
 
The 2 questions before this one are about a schedule for checking
instruments (yes) and are the service and repair records promptly available.
(yes)
 
So......What does the above question pertain too??   HELP!
