KKidd Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 How often do you do RPM and timer checks on your centrifuges? Everything I read says periodically. Since I am a Blood Bank dinosaur(30+ years), we have been doing this quarterly as long as I can remember. My bio-med folks say this is overkill.

pinktoptube Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 We still perform Quarterly. Although per Serofuge manuf. instructions RPM is checked twice per year and CAP requirements is at least every 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMcCord Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I still do it quarterly. I identified a centrifuge that was off doing the quarterly check one time in 30+ years so the biomed guys are probably right. But................It looks good during inspections. catchmenow51 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Saikin Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If you have a digital timer you do not need to check it. If you have to turn a dial (analog) then that must be checked. Biomed does my rpms q 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbarding13 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 We were doing ours quarterly until our last CAP inspection, whereby the inspector told me it was overkill. Our Path approved going to every 6 months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
