It seems to me that we are replacing filters much too often on our Grosslab senior grossing station. I do realize that there are so many variables but would be interested in: By the way we only gross small biopsies, gyn, gi, derm)
a. How often others replace Grosslab filters? b. How others have maybe lengthened the time that the filters last? (We do use formalin absorbing and neutralizing pads.) Any other experiences or help would be appreciated. Also we do monitor the formalin levels with badges and our levels every six months are way below safety levels. Badges are worn by the techs doing the gross.
