ABSTRACT
Recently, varieties of medical instruments have been developed and improved upon rapidly along with the progress of medicine. However, the advent of many types of new devices sometimes creates confusion on the clinical scene. The central supply system of medical instruments may be effective in reducing medical troubles and accidents, through centralized maintenance, check and repair stuff education and enlightenment.<BR>In our hospital, the central supply room of medical instruments was established in April 1993 to try to reduce the costs and troubles. We have somehow managed our system by trail and error for eight years. Recently, many people who have any relationship with us have come to rate our system highly. We will try to make a further effort to establish a better supply system.
