I am also the same as Joelle & Brian, It never been questioned by CAP inspectors but since it's in the common checklist we have to follow that’s why we have a policy with simple procedure and record, the procedure almost the same as Brian procedure but some time we use the digital PH meter.

We use Bromocresol Purple as an indicator here, and we have a simple log sheet wherein our crew just tests one piece of cleaned glassware each day. They write the type of glassware they test, and place a checkmark in a "yellow" or "purple" column based upon what they see. If "purple," they rewash, retest and document accordingly. > > Brian D.

I'm not sure if this question actually applies to Histology. I have never had an inspector ask me about it, but I'm wondering if anyone has been questioned. > > Laurie Colbert, HT (ASCP) > Histology Supervisor > PATH MD > 8158 Beverly Blvd. > Los Angeles, CA 90048 > (323) 648-3214 direct > (424) 245-7284 main lab > > The information contained in this transmission may contain privileged and confidential information, including patient information protected by federal and state privacy laws.
