[Histonet] cap question regarding the microwave

Nirmala:
  As you know, QA records require procedural consistency. Some laboratory designed microwave ovens (MWO) can monitor temperature and, as a matter of fact, the program sets the desired temp. and the time, "leaving" the MWO to set the energy level to reach both requirements.
  Those MWO usually can print a protocol log in which temp. is recorded.
  If the MWO is not lab designed, or if it does not have the recording capability, the temp has to be determined with a probe.
  The whole idea is to make sure that the tissues are subjected only to a pre-determined temp, in the same way that each day the temp. of the retort on any regular tissue processor is recorded.
  The CAP requirement is that there should be a record, either automatic or logged, with the temp. the tissues have been exposed during the processing protocol.

Hi,

I would like to get some feed back on this cap question

ANP. 28290

ARE MICROWAVE DEVICES PERIODICALLY MONITORED FOR TEMPERATURE
REPRODUCIBILITY?

THANKS

NIRMALA
