Plastic Pipete Lab Report

Since the average contribution margin /hr spent sharpening and coating is $850 and the inspection station would save 240hrs. The company would generate $850*240 = $204,000 in profits.

Instruments and equipment such as endoscope and catheter involves invasive procedure that would be exposed to body fluids and contaminants so it should greatly be a concern for infection control, thereby choosing the right method of sterilization is sensitive. Problem may arise and transmission of disease may be imminent if not properly sterilized. Disinfection of these reusable instruments poses significant problems. It cannot be autoclaved. It should be handled by mechanical cleaning, followed by high-level disinfection, rinsing and drying.

The background section reveals the purpose of the study was to conclude if the catheter was safe, effective in preventing bacteriuria and if future studies were warranted. The literature reviewed for this study included articles on the significance of the problem and articles specific to catheter materials used in manufacturing. This study also included literature about the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent. The methods section detailed the selection of the site, the population chosen for the randomized control trial and information on the catheter selection for the study. Also covered in the methods section was information on the procedures used to randomize the catheter selection and the assessment of participants. The results section of the study reveals the statistical data that lead the researchers to the final conclusions. The total number of participants that met the criteria to complete the study were divided into the test group or the control group. The results were then defined by the percentages that met certain assessment criteria or developed bacteriuria and the timeframe to bacteriuria. Each section with-in the article supports the final conclusion that the test catheter is safe, provides a decreased incidence of bacteriuria, decreased time to bacteriuria and therefor revealed a larger study of this catheter is warranted (Leuck et al., 2015).

5. (TCO C) A tool manufacturing company wants to estimate the mean number of bolts produced per hour by a specific machine. A simple random sample of 9 hours of performance by this machine is selected and the number of bolts produced each hour is noted. This leads to the following results.

4. Why do you need a large box of micropipettor tips? You will need a new one each time it goes into a new solution, avoiding cross contamination and

to prevent medical error, it is important to count all the surgical instrument for example counting all sponges, sharps, and related miscellaneous items at five different times, before the procedure to establish a baseline,before closure of a cavity within a cavity, before wound closure begins, at skin closure, and at the time of permanent staff relief of either the scrub person or the circulating

5.- Use Exhibit 3 to assess the “expected” repeat visit rate after 11 months of operation. Does the observed rate conform? What conclusions you draw? What strategy would you suggest?

2. The surgeon is kept in the loop about this count as it is occurring.

Per unit: average cost of quality – cost of inspection ((.04)$10 - $.18 = $.22)

On the front of the instrument, a specialized chip reduces the amount of unnecessary reaction substances by aspirating a tiny amount of the sample (10–30μl), in order to reduce burdens on patients, from the test tube and transferring it at high speed into the cuvette. Also the nozzle is cleaned off each time a sample is dispensed to hold back carryover.

The shop works two shifts per day, eight hours per shift, 200 days per year. There currently are four machines, and a 25 percent capacity cushion is desired. How many machines should be purchased to meet the upcoming year’s demand

The stand, clamp mat and a 250mL conical flask were set up as demonstrated in figure 1. A burette was rinsed with 10 ml of 1.0M NaOH(aq), and made sure the end of the burette and the flask were about 5cm away. Checked the stopcock of the burette and made sure it was shut, then a funnel as used to fill the burette with 0.1M NaOH(aq) until the reading is between 0 and 1mL. This was recorded as initial value. A 20ml pipette was rinsed with 5mL of HCI, and then the 20mL of HCI was transferred to the conical flask using the pipette. 5 drops
