Question

What establish and maintain standardized procedures that identify, performs, records and monitors equipment modification records within the MAIS?

Answer 1

Protocols for cleaning and sterilizing medical equipment are established by government agencies and scientific organizations, and adopted by medical device manufacturers. End-users, such as hospitals, are responsible for following these procedures to avoid negative consequences.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protocols for cleaning or sterilizing medical equipment are often developed by government agencies like the FDA, and other groups, like the AOAC, a nonprofit scientific organization that establishes many protocols for standard use globally. These procedures and protocols are then adopted by medical device and equipment manufacturers. Ultimately, the end-users (hospitals and their staff) are responsible for following these procedures and can be held liable if a breach occurs and patients become ill from improperly cleaned equipment.
