[Histonet] RE: Glassware Cleaning, CAP Checklist Item GEN.41770

[Jamal]

I am also the same as Joelle & Brian, It never been questioned by CAP
inspectors but since it's in the common checklist we have to follow that’s
why we have a policy with simple procedure and record, the procedure almost
the same as Brian procedure but some time we use the digital PH meter.

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.

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.
