How are folks disposing old glass slides? I assume the labels represent a HIPPA problem.

Thanks

Slide chipper Fargo style.

The regulations say we now have to keep nongyn slides for 10 years to those of you doing cytopath. They changed it from 5 years recently. They will likely change GYN to 10 years soon I am sure. Just increases the risk of litigation.
