Description

New Hire Proper Instrument Care Attestation

Objectives

  • Establish my sterile field EARLY enough to check the integrity of all instruments; to include but is not limited to all cannulas, trocars, lumens, etc; ensure that ALL major components of each instrument set required for my case are present and accounted for
  • Set up the back table with a large basin filled with Sterile Water, labeled accordingly
  • During the case, periodically clean all used instruments and instrumentation with Sterile Water to rid them of gross bone, tissue, and blood
  • Upon completion of the case, visually inspect all instruments and instrumentation for gross bio-burden and remove the bio-burden before taking items off of the back table
  • Spray all instruments and instrumentation with the Enzymatic Spray; if I do not have Enzymatic Spray readily available in my room, I (or the designee) must call a PSA to bring a bottle to the room and restock the POD/Supply Room
