Every effort is made to purchase equipment that is identical to the equipment health care workers use when caring for patients in the clinical setting.
HSRC supplies are for student practice only and are not to be utilized in direct patient care at any time.
Certain supplies such as Blood Pressure cuffs are available for check out, for practice at home. Students may check out these items for four days. If accommodation is needed for a longer period of time, the student should discuss this with the HSRC staff for an extension. All items are to be returned to an HSRC staff member.
All needle safety devices are to be engaged immediately after use. Sharps are to be discarded into a secure sharp’s disposal box after use on models or manikins to avoid accidental skin puncture with a nonsterile needle. This includes but is not limited to: needles for injections, IV catheter needles, lancets for finger-stick blood samples, and/or needles for lab testing, etc.
