Cliff, We also are FACT accredited and our program decided that all forms about 400(FACT regulated and non-FACT regulated) need to have samples in the SOP manual. Prior to our last FACT inspection we had staff members go through the SOP manuals and make samples using directions in the SOP. This was a great training tool and good way to validate the SOP. So we added "make sample form" to our validation checklist. This prompts someone to make the sample. Training and validation all in one! Yeah! Yes it is tedious but it works for us. Hope this helps.
