Surgical Instrument Tray Arrangement

Arranging instruments from left to right in a surgical tray helps the surgeon perform the procedure in a logical and efficient sequence, reducing the need for searching and time wasted.

Importance of a Surgical Instrument Tray Checklist

A checklist ensures that all necessary instruments are present for the procedure, preventing delays and potential complications due to missing equipment. It also helps maintain consistency across surgeries performed by different specialists.

Storing Forceps on Instrument Pins

Holding forceps together on pins keeps them organized and prevents damage to their delicate tips. This also simplifies handling when grabbing them for use.

Following Device Sterilization IFU

Following the manufacturer's instructions for sterilization ensures that all surfaces of the instrument are properly exposed to the sterilizing agent, guaranteeing complete elimination of harmful microorganisms. This prevents potential contamination during surgery.

Study Notes

Inspection, Assembly, and Packaging (IAP)

  • IAP area is a clean area in the CSSD where surgical instruments are inspected for intactness, cleanliness, and functionality.
  • Trained decontamination specialists and technicians conduct this critical job according to manufacturer's IFU.
  • The area is designated and controlled to optimize sterilization and minimize contamination risks.

Environmental Requirements for IAP

  • Ventilation meets clean room standards according to ISO 14644-1:1999 Class 8 or other internationally accepted equivalent standards.
  • The room is maintained under positive pressure to prevent airborne bacteria introduction.
  • Temperature is maintained between 20-23°C, and relative humidity is between 30-60%.
  • Environmental cleaning follows hospital-approved policies and procedures.
  • Furniture is made of smooth, non-porous, easy-to-clean materials.

Dress Code Requirements

  • Staff wear protective clothing to reduce contamination risks.
  • Protective clothing includes:
    • Freshly laundered scrub suits that minimize bacterial shedding and provide comfort.
    • Head/hair cover that confines all hair and minimizes microbial dispersal.
    • Dedicated sturdy shoes that are only used inside the IAP.

Assembly and Checking

  • Inspected and function-tested devices are assembled into trays using a track and trace system or manual system.
  • Computerized track and trace systems log and store information for each tray and generate a unique barcode label.
  • Devices are arranged in trays according to procedure requirements, size, or surgeon/OR nurse preferences.
  • All contents of a specific surgical instrument tray must be checked and verified against its checklist.
  • Forceps are placed on instrument pins to hold them together and reduce tangling.
