Dark areas on the lens of an endoscope are:
LED bulbs
Light-emitting diode optics
Damaged light fibers
Debris
Electronic testing of laparoscopic insulation should be done:
In the clean assembly area prior to set assembly
In the Operating Room at the end of the procedure
At the factory or onsite repair unit
In the decontamination area prior to cleaning
Which of the following should be used to thoroughly rinse all traces of detergent from a rigid endoscope's channels?
Treated water
Water quality recommended in the manufacturer’s instructions for use
Forced air
Water containing an approved sterilant
Arthroscopy instruments are used during:
Joint surgery
All choices
Laparoscopic surgery
Robotic surgery
Robotic instruments:
All choices
Have mechanical & electrical components in the end of the instrument
Are heavier than standard laparoscopic instruments
Do not come apart for cleaning
Which of the following statements about endoscopes is true?
Flexible endoscopes are time-consuming to clean
All endoscopes should be steam sterilized
Flexible endoscopes are not easily damaged
Ultrasonic cleaning is the process of choice for endoscopes
Which of the following steps occurs first when processing flexible endoscopes?
Drying
Leak testing
Manual cleaning
High-level disinfection/sterilization
The first step when inspecting the insulation of a laparoscopic instrument is to:
Visually check the instrument’s shaft
Try to slide the insulation back
Check the handle for chipping or cracking
Check the metal collar at the distal tip
Loaned instruments should:
Be decontaminated if they appear soiled upon arrival
Not be used
Be decontaminated before use
Be sterilized using a low-temperature process
The purpose of the insulation covering laparoscopic instruments is to:
Help keep the instrument from slipping during surgery
Protect the patient from electrical current
Protect the surgeon from burns
Protect the patient from cauterization
The purpose of using a decontamination battery or hose when cleaning powered surgical instruments is to:
Keep functioning batteries and cords clean
Test the unit while cleaning
Prevent electrical shock
Keep fluid from entering the unit
Robotic instruments:
Are processed the same as laparoscopic instruments
Must be containerized for sterilization
Require extensive preventive maintenance
May have exposed cables
