3 Flashcards
Infection control circle
- People and contaminated objects
- means of exit- mouth, throat, ears, eyes, nose, sounds
- Means of transmission- inhale, ingest, absorb, permucosal contact
- Means of entry- mouth, nose, throat, ears, eyes.
- Susceptible host- everyone
Hemoconcentration
Blood looking from tournechea use
RBC most affected by
Altitude
Venous stasis
Risk of forming blood clots in veins
Purpose of PPE
Make barrier between pt and worker
Glacial acetic is stored
Biological safety cabinet
Centrifuge
Separates blood samples, 3000 rpm for 15mins
Ph meter
Measures hydrogen ion concentration
Autoclave
- Is used to disinfect equipment with 15 psi
- pour distilled water into reservoir, load wrapped items 1in apart on tray, use indicator strip. Turn on for 15mins to warm to 121ºC then another 15mins to allow steam to sterilize
TC
Last drop is blown out
TD
To deliver- last drop blown out
BSP
Bio safety precautions- regulates what PEE is required by all personal
Analytical balance
Measures small mass with high precision
Graduated cylinder
24hrs urine
Buckets in centrifuge are used to prevent
Spills, breakage and aerosols
Procedure you would follow if pt looses consciousness
- Immediately stop draw
- Protect pt from falling
- Ask for assistance
- Get cold cloth, cookies/crackers, juice/water
- Report incident

Incubator
Like warm oven to grow bacteria, 37º
Microtome
Slicing small tissues for pathology studies
Polypropylene
Synthetic resin that is a polymer of propylene
Borosilicate glass
Thermo and shock resistant- all glass wear
Hemolysis
Breakdown of RBC release of hemoglobin into fluid portion of specimen
Oxidizing material
Class C- causes other substances to burn
Flash point

3 advantages of plastic ware
Durable, cheap, unbreakable
Glassware and pipettes are divided into two groups
- Containers and recievers
2. Volumetric
Containers and receivers
Beakers, Erlynmeyer flask, test tubes, reagent botice
Volumetric glass ware
Automatic and manual pipettes, volumetric flask, graduated cylinder, serological pipettes
