EXPOSITION CONTINUING EDUCATIONWho says continuing education (CE) credits should be limited to just those earned through traditional educational sessions in classrooms and conference ballrooms?

IAHCSMM recognizes that vendor experts can serve as valuable teachers for CS professionals, which is why we created an opportunity for Expo attendees to attain additional CEs from participating vendors, directly on the Expo floor.

With more than 130 exhibitorson hand, some of whom will be offering these CEs, there’s never been a better time to tap vendors’ knowledge and fulfill your commitment to continuing education.

SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS: USE AS INTENDED, HANDLE WITH CARESpeaker: David Jagrosse, CRCST, CHL

Identifying the “Intended Use” of a medical device is a responsibility of the manufacturer of the device. How the device is used becomes the responsibility of each user of the device. Members of the health care team need to be aware of best practices for how a device is to be handled at the point of use as well as how the device is to be processed before and after a procedure. This program focuses on how to handle power equipment, rigid endoscopes, surgical instruments and medical devices with care whether at point of use or during the cleaning, packaging, sterilizing, storing, and transporting. The discussion will include labeling requirements for single-use items and those that can be reprocessed. Processes that can lead to or avoid improper function or permanent damage will also be discussed.

WHEN INSULATION DOESN'T INSULATESpeaker: Lynne A. Thomas, BSN, RN, CGRN, CFER

Laparoscopic and robotic cases are predominate in most OR settings today and insulation defects can be pervasive in the instrumentation being used. What happens to the patient with the insulation on these instruments don’t insulate? The majority response is that of patient burns due to stray energy, only a few will peek under the insulation to realize there are other latent liabilities lurking.

Objectives:1. Name elements of inspection and

care for insulated instruments2. Describe negative outcomes caused

by insulation breaches
