First Dr Hudson Garrett always gives a great and informative presentation, as I was listening it was so funny that he spoke about IFU because this is exactly what I was working on today .
Next, Id like to know where to find out information on the IFU class so I can share it with my co-workers. Another thought which I would greatly apricate is a presentation on storage areas within the hospital addressing how manufactured sterile items are shipped and how they need to be stored in a controlled environment just as instruments which are reprocessed inhouse. I have done a presentation concerning the manufactured items and the symbols which are on the packing and it was greatly welcomed because the team members were not concerned about these items.
