[Histonet] RE: Xylene testing ANP 08216

[Michael LaFriniere]

All of my labs are tested at least yearly or when we change a major procedure dealing with formalin or xylene. In addition if an associate feels the fumes are high we test that day. When I CAP inspect I like to see the lab tests annually, however, it's not the requirement but would recommend as a caution to demonstrating a safe environment.

Hey Everyone,

Just curious what people are doing with xylene testing? Are people really only doing the initial testing and never testing again if all was good? Seems like there should be periodic testing after decades have gone by!

Thanks,
