During a cystoscopy, a small plastic piece of the resectoscope had broken.The doctor reported that he/she was able to recover the small and large plastic pieces.While we can not be sure that 100% of the fragments were located, the doctor did a thorough search for a long period of time and needed to proceed with the procedure.The procedure continued without further complications and the patient was transferred to the recovery room in good condition.There were no complications.Per our sterile processing department this facility is following gyrus acmi's recommendations for cleaning and sterilizing.Our spd supervisor did post a note on the instructions for cleaning/sterilizing the devices for staff to pay extra attention to the integrity of all of the pieces.Http://www.Onesourcedocs.Com/member/show-document.Html?id=208551.
