Do the same as Brian. It is not that involved really, and its not worth getting a deficiency over.

> I've never been asked by a CAP auditor either, but our internal inspectors used to inquire about this in a previous lab all the time.  We use Bromocresol Purple as an indicator here, and we have a simple log sheet wherein our crew just tests one piece of cleaned glassware each day.  They write the type of glassware they test, and place a checkmark in a "yellow" or "purple" column based upon what they see.  If "purple," they rewash, retest and document accordingly.

> Do others in Histology follow these CAP Guidelines for cleaning glassware?   I'm not sure if this question actually applies to Histology.  I have never had an inspector ask me about it, but I'm wondering if anyone has been questioned.
