My assisstant washes it with liquid soap, rinses it well. I do a spculum and digital exam looking for pressure sores and put it back in. I usually bring them back at 1 month the first time - not ueuslly a week. If it is going to fall out it is usually in the first 24 hours and they call.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
