[Histonet] RE: Re: Pneumatic Tube Delivery System

[Marcum, Pamela A]

Exactly how we handle it here.  Years ago they something biological spill in the tube system and the whole thing had to be decontaminated.  No one ever volunteered who did it, but it cost a fortune to clean up.  Still once in a whole someone will just have a brain hiccup and send something.  Everyone get upset then.

Hey Brian,

We do use the tube system at our hospital.  The rule here is that nothing in formalin is to be sent via tube.  The specimen is considered irreplaceable and in the event of a malfunction in the system there is the possibility of specimen loss.
