[Histonet] FDA approved recyclers

[Vilma Kvieskaite]

Hallo,
   
  Maybe do you have some time to answer few questions? Do you use B/R Procycler 9700 for buffered formalin recycling? It is worth? Do you have some problems with this equipment? Do you filtrate formalin before recycling? What filters do you use? How do you make buffered formalin after recycling- maybe do you have special enclosed system for buffer preparation? 
   
  Thanks, 
  Vilma

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?
