[Histonet] Pipettes

[Abbott, Tanya]

CAP checklist ANP.23085 refers to Pipettes "that are used for quantitative dispensing of material are checked for accuracy and reproducibility at least annually, and results documented."
We perform our Special Stains by hand. So we use disposable, glass, Non Class A pipettes. About 15 in a bag. We obviously do not check these one by one for reproducibility. I did call CAP and although he tried to be helpful, I still am confused!  Any suggestions on how anyone else handles this?
Thanks in advance,
Tanya
