[Histonet] All Common Question 30550

[Piche, Jessica]

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if everyone has a written procedure for performance verification for their tissue processors? And if so what your procedure entails? Performance verification reports from companies that fix the tissue processor or an actual program on the tissue processor to verify that it processed tissue correctly.

Got a ding with CAP because we didn't have a procedure in regards to the tissue processors, but I thought this question in the all common checklist had to do with chemistry analyzers and chemistry's equipment in general. Wondering what others are doing. Thank you in advance!!!
