Which is one proper way to mark an instrument for identification before being put into service?
a. Identification codes or numbers are etched into the instrument handle.
b. Names or numbers are engraved in the handles or teeth.
c. Numbers or codes can be imprinted with a laser onto an instrument.
d. Names or numbers are carved into an instrument handle.
ANS: C
New instruments may be marked with bar codes done with a laser when purchased. Some facilities use a special heat-stable tape to color code instruments by sets. This tape can withstand cleaning and sterilizing, but must be replaced if it starts to peel. The surface of the instrument should not be etched or engraved because these processes can destroy the surface and permit trapped microorganisms and spores.
