[Histonet] All Common Question 30550

[Piche, Jessica]

Hi Garrey,

The checklist question I'm referring to is actually in the All Common checklist (30550) It says the performance of all instruments and equipment is verified upon installation and after repair or reconditioning to ensure that they run according to expectations Then requires a written procedure for performance validation. There is a question regarding tissue processors in the Anatomic Path checklist 23120 regarding tissue processing programs/tissue processing programs are validated. They aren't the same question.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Jessica

Check anp.23120 tissue processing programs are validated. It's in the Ap checklist. It spells out what is required.

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.
