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