IAHCSMM Loaner Instrument Paper
Template form serves as an accompanying tool for IAHCSMM Position Paper
In recognition of the need to systematically manage loaner instrumentation and implants, IAHCSMM's Orthopedic Council has developed a position paper and sample procedure template to help CS's rise above the challenges. This first-of-its-kind policy template reflects subject matter associated with loaners, as well as minimal regulatory guidelines, and provides recommendations for creating loaner instrumentation policies and procedures in a concise and user-friendly form.

Loaner Instrument Receipt Document
Many facilities have a form that they use to record information pertaining to incoming and outgoing loaner instruments; however, this new Loaner Instrument Receipt Document is a compilation of what other facilities have found to work most effectively.
"Essentially, we reviewed a significant amount of good content out there and then combined it into one template," explained Orthopedic Council Chairman Mark Duro, CRCST, FCS. While the Council did its best to include the most vital and pertinent information on the form, Council members acknowledge that facility needs and requirements will vary. "We encourage the Loaner Instrument Receipt Document to be used as a foundation template, with the content customized to best fit facilities' specific needs."
