[Histonet] Cryostat disinfection

[donna rossi]

   Here  we  go  again!   According to CAP we are to be shutting down the
   cryostat  and  disinfecting  it every week for cryostats that are used
   daily. How  often  should it be shut down if it is used perhaps once a
   week?   Do  you determine this by number of frozens being done or type
   of  tissue being  cut  or  just  pick  a  time frame?   We are a small
   hospital and this will impact our work flow but if CAP says it must be
   so thennnnnnnnnnnnnn. Your help is greatly appreciated.
