What is involved in checking correct implants and prostheses?
It is highly recommended that each facility have a process for checking such items prior to preparing surgical lists. “Time out” is a final verification that this checking has occurred. The proceduralist and the assisting nursing staff must confirm that any correct prostheses (including biological implants) and/or any specialised equipment are in the procedure room and that they are the correct type and size.
