Frequently Asked Questions
What types of questions are included in the quiz?
There are six categories: identifying instruments from catalogue photographs, speciality groups, sets, general material and finish terms, general care and handling principles, and reading catalogue names, lengths and codes. All questions are multiple choice.
Do I need an account to take the quiz?
No. You can start straight away without registering or logging in. Your answers and score are kept in your browser for the current session only and are not sent anywhere.
Will I receive explanations after answering?
Yes. After you check each answer you see whether it was correct, a short explanation and, where relevant, a link to the related catalogue page.
Can I retake a quiz?
Yes. Use Try Again on the results screen or start any quiz again from the quiz home. Questions and answer order are shuffled each time.
Are the questions based on Hospitime product information?
Identification and catalogue questions use Hospitime’s published product records and photographs. Material and care questions are general educational knowledge and are labelled that way after each answer. A question is left out automatically if the catalogue entry it relies on no longer matches.
Does taking the quiz certify clinical knowledge?
No. The quiz is educational only. A score is not a certification or qualification and does not show clinical competence. It is not a substitute for the instructions for a product, clinical training or professional judgement.
How can I find the relevant product in the catalogue?
Use the link shown under an explanation, browse Instrument by Type, Instrument by Speciality or Instruments by Set from the menu, or use the search icon in the header.
The quiz is educational. It does not replace the instructions that apply to a product, clinical training or professional judgement.
