Remember, staff should be familiar with the manufacturer’s instructions for use (IFUs) requirement. Joint Commission and CMS require all staff that use equipment and reusable patient care items know how to use and clean those devices.
ANMC now has the Manufacturer’s Instructions for Use (IFU) oneSource searchable database available for staff to use to find medical equipment and device IFUs. The database houses the IFUs and provides medical equipment and device information that comes directly from the manufacturer so that staff know how to maintain, clean, and use the medical equipment or device.
The database should be an easy and quick way to access IFUs. Join us for a live training session with oneSource on the following days:
