Finding complete AAMI standards....online?

[sonny1388]

I am pretty new to supervising, and one of the first things I noticed about our C.S. department was the lack of knowledge as to WHY we do things. My group is pretty knowledgeable about HOW, but I would like to be able to show them the why. Can I find a complete listing of AAMI standards online?

Perhaps if you are an AAMI member they would provide you with the standards online? www.aami.org

I'm not actually sure.

I went out and bought the book. I have the 2003 AAMI standards, sterilization part 1. ISBN is 1-57020-204-4

'Part one' is the book which deals with hospital sterilization, its the best one to have of the series.

The book isn't cheap, but I've practically worn it out in the process of using it for research and for writing my p&ps. I don't know what I would have done without it.

Occasionally, someone will have a copy at Powell's or Amazon or ebay. I picked up a cheap copy for a friend at another hospital that way.
