Presented by Dianne Bourque, RN, CNOR, this 30-minute webinar examines the relationship between sterile processing staff’s understanding of manufacturers’ instructions for use and patient safety. Given that IFU non-compliance is a common deficiency, we’ll review the importance of staff training, the need for adequate resources for effective cleaning, and how to proceed when IFUs are missing.

Upon completion of the webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Explain what an IFU is.
• Identify challenges to compliance with the manufacturer’s IFU for complex instrumentation or equipment.
