I am seeking information on any existing audit documents/templates on Instrument Tracking systems.
As you know auditing of Traceability Systems of RMDs is part of AS/NZS 4817:2014 2.4.3, 2.5 and 2.5.1 Audits and I am seeking a templet tool to use/modify on our Tracking System.
We currently don’t have a written document to complete audits I am keen to see what other LHDs or health services across Australasia are using if any of them may have any examples they would be willing to share it would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,

It depends on what you are looking at:
Are you looking at the system itself?
You would probably do this before trial or purchase really but if not you could set up a template with the following
* Time to use, Accessibility to staff, ease of use, ability to add new products, accuracy
* Downtime of system, Life of handpieces etc
* Not all facilities have an electronic system so other criteria about written record keeping and compliance with documentation comes in.
OR
* Are you testing the effectiveness of your traceability system? I believe this is what is required.
* Test its effectiveness
* Doing a prospective recall based on a pretend load failure in CSSD and also a second reverse recall by pretending a patient or a number of patients have a similar infection and going back through records to the sterilisation process. If doing this you should already have a recall policy and checklist that could be used.
We recently had an accreditor in one of our facilities ask about a reverse recall audit. I hadn’t used the term before but I assume it means a retrospective recall rather than one requested through a CSSD or a consumable manufacturer.
Best wishes
