Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semicritical instruments are items that come in contact with mucous membranes or nonintact skin and have a lower risk of transmitting infection compared to critical instruments. X-ray film-holding devices are examples of semicritical instruments as they come in contact with the patient's mouth and saliva during imaging procedures. The exposure button and x-ray control panel are considered non-critical instruments that do not come in contact with the patient, and the lead apron is a piece of personal protective equipment that is not considered a medical instrument.
