IAHCSMM is pleased to introduce the Instrument Resource Manual. This text was written for CS Instrument technicians, by CS Instrument technicians. That focus makes it a unique resource for every CS department. Emphasis has been placed on good work practices for instrument care and handling; including instrument inspection points, testing processes and other information that will enhance instrument skills.The Instrument Resource Manual provides a realistic look at surgical instrument inspection. Photos for the text were gathered from several sources and show instruments at varying stages in their life cycle. Some are new, and others are nearing, or at, the end of use. In other words, the photos in this text provide a snapshot of the devices instrument technicians encounter daily.Each healthcare facility is unique and instrument tray content is driven by surgeon and OR staff input. For that reason, tray content varies. It is impossible to include every surgical instrument in use in a single text. This text has attempted to include commonly used instruments. The Instrument Resource Manual is designed to be user-friendly and an invaluable resource to Instrument technicians in any facility. Some features include:¿ Learning objectives that introduce each chapter and outline learning expectations in the chapter.¿ Use of green text boxes to define key terms throughout the text.¿ Use of red arrow indicators to identify key inspection points on instruments.¿ A glossary that not only defines all the terms introduced in the manual, but also many other terms important in today's dynamic CS environment.
