[Histonet] CLIA

[Mickie Johnson]

Matt,

I think this is interesting because I am hearing more and more that CLIA
inspectors are requiring these ranges on the chart. Is anyone else having
CLIA inspectors ding them about operational humidity and temperature ranges
on temperature charts? Some CLIA inspectors require room temperatures to be
recorded as well. Everyone's input would be appreciated. Thanks.

For those of you that have to go thru a CLIA inspeciton, I had mine
yesterday and came across a issue, that in my 15 years of histology have
never came across so I thought that I would share with you all.  The
inspector that I had opened up the owners manuals of my equipment (paraffin
pot, water-bath, embedding center, etc) and looked at the manufactors
recommendations for room temp and room humidity.  She was going to ding me
on not haveing those ranges on my QC chats, but I changed them while she was
here.  So if you do not have those ranges on your QC charts I would
recommened it.
