[Histonet] RE: Audible alarm

[Tom McNemar]

Our VIP5 is tied to the Clinical lab's wireless alarm system.  Our clinical lab is on the first floor and we are on the second floor.  The alarm system can be set to page or call in the event of an alarm but since the clinical lab is manned 24/7 we do not use that feature.  The system is from Rees Scientific.

Subject: [Histonet] Audible alarm

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.
