[Histonet] ultrasafe formalin dispense

[Greg Dobbin]

Honestly, I don't see the point of using this instrument in the histology
lab (at least not my lab as we are set up). It would seem odd that we are
being "ultra safe" when dispensing the formalin but then it's kind of the
"wild west" when we have to discard the previously archived wet tissue!

Obviously we are safe when discarding our used formalin but my point is
that if there is no closed system for the discard process (none that I am
aware of anyway) then why invest in the front end if the back end is still
a mess!

Now I can see Operating Rooms and Labour and Delivery suites loving this
system as many nurses are less comfortable handling formalin. With this
system they could safely fill their buckets and send the specimens off to
us to let us worry about disposal.

Just my 2 cents worth. Maybe someone on here will be able educate me about
a safe system for tissue discards.
