[Histonet] FDA approved recyclers

[Mrosla, Tina M]

We were just informed that some hospitals don't recycle xylene, alcohol, or formalin because solvent recyclers are not approved by the FDA for use in hospitals. Is this true? 
We have a B/R Procycler 9700 that we have been using for 5 years. Does anyone know anything about this recycler and FDA approval?
