Prep, Packaging & StoragePregunta 77 de 100
A technician is inspecting instruments at the assembly workstation. Which tool and technique should be used?
a.Lighted magnification, examining each instrument for cleanliness, cracks, pitting, alignment, and proper function before assembly
b.A quick visual scan under overhead lighting, since the washer verifies cleanliness
c.Testing only the instruments that were flagged by the operating room on the count sheet
d.Wiping instruments with alcohol to reveal residual soil
Explicación
Every instrument is individually inspected under lighted magnification because fine cracks, residual soil in serrations, worn tips, and misaligned jaws are not visible to the unaided eye. Mechanical cleaning reduces bioburden but does not guarantee that a specific device is clean or functional. Selective inspection and alcohol wiping are not substitutes for full item-by-item inspection and functional testing.
