Surgery Specimen & Lab ProcedureRating: (votes: 0) Thanks I think (I hope!) what you've stated is being on the simplistic side, as far as, "rinsing out", the containers. Basically, this is falling under OSHA guidelines for labelling repackaged biohazardous material. (29 CFR s 1910) http://www.cise.columbia.edu/nsec/sa...abstandard.pdfExpiration, I have no clue. Lab should be labelling those for you, if they contain formalin, before they leave the lab area where the reagent (formalin) is poured from it's original MSDS labeled container. Comment:
I can't believe the lab is okay with their current practices. After researching today, I have decided to forgo relabeling and just purchase sterile prefilled containers for each patient. Thanks for your help.
Comment:
I'm going to need a wash and autoclave along with dates of preparation. Technically formalin prevents cross contamination because it fixes the tissue but this is NOT proper procedure! Jesus take the wheel...I need to be a CAP inspector.
