Hi, Im getting mixed results online when trying to find information about a catheter called an "omniflush" or perhaps "Omni Flush," or in some cases "OMNI Flush."

does anyone have a medical term book that has this listed the proper way? Thanks MTs!

Whats with the attitude? is there something wrong with my question or my signature? Why would you rub in the fact that you have the right book and the answer but not share it? What a nasty person.

Amanda, you`ve already said you`re still a student. Your course wants you to learn how to research for yourself, and asking for answers on a message board is not researching properly. What if someone gives you the wrong answer? If you`ve searched to the best of your ability and still can`t find the answer, then you should take the problem to your instructor.

For problems with instruments and devices, you should try to find the manufacturer in your research, as they *usually* spell their products` names right on their web sites.

Since the FDA approves medical devices as well as drugs, you could check around their site.

These two sites have links to useful information:

You should also look through the resources listed on Medword.com`s home page.

good luck with your studies

Thank you for your very nice reply. I am not a student-- not sure where you got that info from- if you let me know Ill fix it. I've been working for 4 years. anyway, I came to the board because I couldnt find it in my books (they are a little older) and the web sites I did find had conflicting info-- for instance caps vs no caps. I thought a "medical word issues" forum would be a good place to ask someone for a more updated reference than I had. So, again, thanks for the help. I hope I find out why you think im a student. Thanks.

Hi Amanda.....
I am also brand new here....and, low-and-behold, i decided to do a bit of a search for you, to help myself with my research abilities as well, and came up with this link for you...i hope it isn't too late for you to receive......either way, i enjoyed searching!!

Enjoy!!

Thank you for the input! I appreciate the help.

Thanks for the compliment Is this the part where I should pretend to be insulted by being called nasty?

muahahaha

Actually, my point (aside from an obnoxious mood yesterday) was how come you're asking here rather than the url as listed in the siggy.

As for the answer - well, as history would repeat itself, had someone not posted it today, I would have, hence checking on in.

Amanda, I`m sorry. I obviously confused you with someone else -- can you forgive a senior moment?

No problem carol, Im glad that you cleared it up! I was very confused about that student comment, but I appreciate your input on the topic either way and I really do respect not handing students the answers. That will ultimately build better professionals. :-)

As for whitetiger, thank you for clarifying your point. However, feel free not to "check in" on me in the future.

Thanks
