✍️ Sample CMDRT Questions & Answers

1. What is a case cart system and how does it relate to sterile storage and distribution?
✓ A system where all instruments and supplies needed for a specific surgical procedure are assembled onto a dedicated cart and delivered to the OR, improving efficiency and reducing errors

Case cart systems organize all items needed for a specific surgical case onto one cart, reducing the risk of missing items, decreasing OR setup time, and improving inventory management through standardized pick lists.

2. A technician discovers a small fire in a linen hamper in the sterile storage area. Following the RACE fire response protocol, what is the absolute FIRST action the technician must take?
✓ Rescue anyone in immediate danger

The RACE acronym stands for Rescue, Alarm, Confine, and Extinguish/Evacuate. The first and most critical step is to ensure human safety by rescuing anyone who is in immediate danger from the fire before taking any other action.

3. When should immediate-use steam sterilization (IUSS) be used for implantable devices?
✓ Only in documented emergency situations when no alternative exists

AORN and IAHCSMM guidelines strongly discourage IUSS for implants and permit it only in documented emergencies where no alternative is available, due to the increased risk of complications.

✓ Can get caught in moving equipment

Loose fitting clothing and jewelry should not be worn in SPD because they can get caught in moving equipment. This can pose a serious safety hazard as it can cause accidents and injuries to the wearer. It is important to prioritize safety in a professional environment like SPD, and wearing appropriate clothing and accessories is a part of that.

HAIs are infections that patients acquire during their healthcare experience. Improperly reprocessed medical devices are a recognized source of HAIs, making effective reprocessing a critical infection prevention strategy.
