Bench and Microscope Disinfection


CHughes

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a policy for bench and microscope disinfection? We can't locate the CAP standard for this so we're unsure of the frequency (daily? every shift?). Also, if we had a policy previously but weren't documenting that it was being completed, is this deficiency worthy? Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!!

Trying to remember from my CAP inspection days (current lab TJC only). At my last facility, we documented bench cleaning each shift. I thought it was based on the CAP general checklist but can't remember exactly. It was mandated by our Laboratory Safety Officer. As for microscope disinfection, I know we didn't have a policy in the Transfusion Services but I do not know if Hematology or Urinalysis did.
