Central Service Technical Manual, 7th Edition

NOW AVAILABLE!!!

IAHCSMM is pleased to announce the Central Service Technical Manual, Seventh Edition, a completely revised educational tool for Central Service Professionals.

This new edition is designed to provide Central Service Professionals with the latest information on all aspects of sterile processing and to introduce future Central Service professionals to the fast-paced field of CS.

Key changes to the new text include over 300 color photos and charts and a new easy-to-read format that identifies key words and concepts. In addition to the new format, the Seventh Edition also includes several new chapters including, tools for cleaning, point of use preparation and transport, complex surgical instruments, point of use processing, tracking systems and ambulatory surgery and related practices.

All of the text’s existing chapters have been revised and tailored to meet the educational needs of today’s (and tomorrow’s) Central Service Professionals. Changes include a more CS focus to topics such as microbiology, medical terminology, and anatomy and physiology. For example, the newly designed medical terminology chapter includes surgical terms and abbreviations and in addition to presenting an overview of major body systems, the new anatomy and physiology chapter reviews common surgical procedures performed on each body system.

The Seventh edition contains information for new and experienced Central Service Professionals including updated work practice references and regulations. In addition to the completely revised Seventh Edition, IAHCSMM has also developed a completely revised workbook to help individuals prepare for the Certified Registered Central Service (CRCST) exam.
