[Histonet] Tissue Processor Paraffin Temps for CAP Inspections

[Amy Porter]

If your willing to share - how are people monitoring the temperature of paraffin baths on tissue processors?  Are you using additional thermometers directly into the paraffin baths, or just going by the digital read out on the display for the (oven on a VIP) instrument?  Just curious how everyone is dealing with this particular item.  Thanks in advance for the many responses and ideas I know I will get from asking this question!
