(Core plus Endoscopes) - Reprocessing Endoscopes – Online Training
Product Details
Overview
Infection prevention and control (IPC) are protective practices that mitigate the risk of transmission of infection. The key to implementing effective IPC in community health care settings is to ensure that all personnel are trained, knowledgeable and skilled in IPC best practices including the safe reprocessing of semi-critical and critical medical devices.
This self-paced online training course provides theory, principles and practical information about reprocessing and IPC. There are three other online training courses available, for purchase for students, depending on their unique community health care practice and area of expertise. This course includes the Medical Device Reprocessing - Community Heath Care setting training lessons with an additional lesson for those with specific reprocessing needs for endoscopes.
The online training course includes a variety of online lessons with audio and visual material and online self-assessment quizzes. Upon conclusion of the online course, and successful completion of course quizzes, participants will receive a record of course completion.
