I was thinking about paying for the Purdue University Online Course but now your videos and aquinojuan's comment have given me the confidence to try and take the exam on my own! 😜 Your a great teacher wish I could come to Massachusetts and thank you in person.

5:13 because you once said all of what you're gonna talk about is the only thing will be on the exam😁. I have the 8th edition but I'm not confident enough that I'd study them correctly but I'm keep going😁 and this video is the only thing I could relax on when I'm too lazy or depressed reading the entire book myself plus this is the first book that I'm reading and trying to complete within 3 months but so far I've read 70% of the book in 1 month that only thing is I've missed the important things that i need to remember so your video is a total help for me. Wish me luck after completing this book I'm gonna be taking the exam. Thanks for your vids by the way😁👍

I've been in the sterile processing field for going on 20 years now and I had to chuckle a bit at your statement that "rusted instruments are no good and must be replaced"....if we did that, we would have to shut down the hospital because we wouldn't have any instruments left!!

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

I hear you and feel your pain. But we reside in the world of the iahcsmm exam and that's how it has to be taught.

[@alaaachem7863]

Hello.. may I ask you what is the different of the red and yellow sharpness testing ( I mean the material, ex: in red one what's the meaning of rubeerlike fabric and contains latex)

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

Alaa'a Chem I can't explain exactly what the difference in material is. Perhaps it is density. The red material is used on larger scissors while yellow is used to test the smaller scissors. All materials in the hospital are latex free.

[@danielarviso4156]

what are the different reprocessing steps for austenitic and martensitic surgical instruments ? is one high temp & low temp.? I could not find any info on the web

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

they are the same. however, 400 series martensitic steel becomes magnetized and has to be demagnetized every so often before it goes back to surgery.

[@danielarviso4156]

+Boston Career Institute (BCI Inc.) -is this low temp sterilization in an autoclave or ultrasonic ? thanks again !,you are the best Steve !!

[@dominiquea5562]

Do you have any recommendations for books for learning instruments?

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

Depends on the purpose. If for the CIS exam buy the iahcsmm manual. If not for the exam then plenty of free resources on KZbin and of course work experience.

[@keepingupwithmaya4283]

Where is part 2😫

[@hafizhaider2960]

Thanks for good info.. but let me tell you, usa and Germany also buying instruments from Pakistan. The quality is exactly same as usa and Germany but in very competitive price.. You can't call them bad at all, shine and dull look isnt sign of quality its two diff type of finishing process that depends on requirements and also worlds best craftman are there in pakistan surgical industry with 100 years + experience. you need to research about them more.. Thanks 😊

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

I'm in complete agreement with you. I know that companies in Pakistan produce excellent instruments nowadays. I have had an opportunity to examine them. Unfortunately, perceptions are hard to overcome and it is very difficult to get a foot in the door for an opportunity.

[@Neede88]

When your local american importer pays good price they get them marked with there brandings and german steel in satin finish. When they want dirt cheap they pay in cents and get it shiny and marked as pakistan. Unfortunately its the uneducated behaviour of our uneducated manufacture and exporter to not able to make good repute even after decades of exports.

[@earthmatters8866]

I love the videos and all, but Whomever is recording and uploading did a very terrible job. Half of these videos are cut off and there’s no continuation. What’s going on here?

Hi proof, so far so good,ur videos are very encouraging,but there's one thing i need to ask you about, HIGH TEMPERATURE STERILIZATION! U don't focus on that. Why? Is that chapter not included in the Exam?please i really want to know.thanks

[@BostonCareerInstitute]

No. not much on that at all on the exam, if anything. Therefore I don't even bother on lectures. in the book there is a little info however, other than knowing that it transfers heat via conduction and that you can use fully closed contains and aluminium foil as packaging material, there's really not much else you need to know.
