Return Reasons

MaQS

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.

 

See Common Form Functions for navigation instructions.

 

 

For CSSD user: It is recommended to set the Return Used - Complete to be the default return reason for the decontamination module
