[Histonet] Audible alarm

[Laurie Colbert]

Our processors are plugged into emergency outlets, so power outages are
rarely a problem.  However, when the processor fails for another reason,
it will alarm in Blood Bank since there is someone in there 24/7.  They
will call me at home and we will actually troubleshoot the problem.
We've had several occasions where a bottle was not pushed in all the
way, and I can walk someone through that over the phone.

Hello to all in histoland.  We recently had a issue withour tissue
processor in regards to a power outage.  Once the popwer came back on
the processor was in a power out stage and did not process our blocks.
Does any one have an external alarm attached to their tissue processor
that would alarm in another area when a problem occurs or a automatic
dialer that would start calling people.  We are using a UPS back up
power box on both of our processors right now.  I'm trying to see which
would be the best way to resolve this issue.  Any help in this matter
will be greatly appreciated.
