Qualification - Answers Testing that assesses the performance of a steam sterilizer in the environment
in which it will be used before the equipment is approved for routine use in the healthcare facility.
Validation - Answers Documented procedures performed by a medical device manufacturer to
establish that a process consistently yields a product complying with predetermined specifications.
Verification - Answers Documented procedures performed in the users environment to establish that
predetermined specifications have been met.
Lot (load) control number - Answers Number and /or letters by which a specific group of products can
be traced to a particular manufacturing or sterilization operation.
Extended cycle - Answers Sterilization cycles that fall outside of the traditional cycles used in the
Central Service department because exposure times exceed standard steam sterilization times.
Wet pack - Answers Trays/containers containing moisture after the sterilization process is complete
Biobarrier - Answers A package system that allows a sterilant to enter a pack and after sterilization,
creates a barrier to contamination.
Extending sterilization cycles - Answers While some sterilization failures result from mechanical
failures over which the technician has no control, many failures can be avoided by:
False - Answers A steam sterilizer can successfully sterilize anything placed in it.
Steam traps - Answers These are installed on the steam distribution line to help remove
condensation.
False - Answers Well-managed departments are not impacted by the grapevine.
Master budget - Answers This budget predicts the healthcare facility's total revenue and expenses for
a specified period of time.
Six Sigma - Answers A quality process that focuses on developing near-perfect products and services.
Prions - Answers Cause for special concern in CS because routine reprocessing processes are not
enough to protect patients.
Firewall - Answers A network link through which only authorized data can pass that keeps computers
safe from hackers and hardware failures that occur elsewhere
Catalog number - Answers This quick reference can help when ordering replacement instruments
from specified vendors.
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis - Answers A process used to predict the adverse outcomes of
various human and machine failures.
Personnel budget - Answers Costs for labor are addressed in a:
Cost containment - Answers The process of controlling inefficiencies in consumption, allocation or
production of services that contribute to higher that necessary costs is called:
Zero - based budget - Answers An approach to budget preparation that requires planners to explain
all expenses and provide justification for each line item funded with resources allocated accordingly.
