[Histonet] RE: Paraffin Temperature Checks

[Elizabeth Chlipala]

All of our logs are use logs so we record when we use any piece of equipment and any QC or maintenance if required, we do not record or document anything if we do not use it, other than lab temperature and humidity which we record daily.

Subject: [Histonet] Paraffin Temperature Checks

For those of you out there that are fortunate enough to have tissue processors or embedding centers that are used less often than daily-like maybe even weekly (or even less frequently,) how often are you checking and documenting the paraffin temperatures on said pieces of equipment?  For our daily equipment, it's no big deal obviously.  But we have a "research" processor and embedding center that doesn't get used often-sometimes for a week or two, and if we're not touching the machine, it seems overkill to document paraffin temps daily.

Thanks,
