Because I have been told that according to JCAHO (who will be inspecting us) that if a temperature is required to ascertain consistency, quality and integrity, you will have to record temperature 7 days per week.

If the processor is emptied on Mondays to embed→cut, take the temp. then. Other that this you would have to place a sensor and a recording device or you would have to make somebody to go to the lab. For just write down the melted paraffin temp.? Too much expense and trouble for an non-existent problem. René J.

We are closed and this is creating an issue. Our processors are not running until Sunday night but the paraffin in both the processors and embedding center are kept molten.
