Return reasons will display on the scanner when receiving items back into the Sterilising Department. There is a limit of 20 codes of which one must be 'Item used' or Complete. There is a limit to how much text can be displayed on the scanner so ensure that each Return reason is kept to a minimum (about 20 characters).
'Non-conformance' reasons can also be created, eg Item dropped, Missing instrument, Opened in Error.
Indicate if the cost centre will be charged by placing a tick in the 'Charge Cost Centre' box.
