Re: [Histonet] Microtome alignment

[Histonet] Retracting microtomes
I have another question for all of you experts out there. We have a brand new microtome that we inherited from another laboratory. It is a retracting microtome whereas all of the other microtomes in our laboratory are not. None of our techs like this new microtome and find it difficult to use. My question to you as a group is, do many of you have retracting microtomes in your laboratory? If so, do you insist that techs in your laboratory learn to use this type of microtome even if they do not feel comfortable using it? The reason I ask is that I want to replace it with an older model which is non-retracting and management is insisting that since we already have it here our techs just need to learn how to use it. We have students rotating thru the rotations and often have to use different microtomes, I am worried that if we have one outlier microtome which operates differently specimens could be compromised. I welcome all your thoughts and opinions.

RE: [Histonet] Corrective Action Form
You don't want to call it corrective action, as that indicates 'negligence' or 'failure to follow direction' on the part of the tech... Unless that is the case and you are looking to go after an employee.. Instead you need to call it Performance Improvement... This notes a problem, reason for the problem, and a solution to the problem... followed up by a time line where you follow the change in Policy and Procedure. It shows a problem that occurred where patient safety was compromised and a solution to the problem to avoid any potential future. You document this... Say you change the procedure today... well, keep track of the IHCs for the next 2 months...6 months (what ever timeline you choose)... then write up the conclusion to your findings. Here's and example: The change to preparing IHC slides per Policy and Procedure #2001 on May 1, 2010 and studied for 4 months, we found no more issues regarding false positives.
