Welcome to the Instrument Management System (IMS) User and Implementation Guide. The video clips on this page will walk you through implementing, using and maintaining your Hu-Friedy IMS cassettes.

Process Videos

While your Hu-Friedy representative is available to you as a resource, there may be times that you need a refresher on the different steps of the instrument reprocessing cycle with your IMS cassettes.

The videos in this section are segmented into shorter clips that walk through the implementation of cassettes, starting from when the shipment arrives. Walk through different areas such as Treatment Room – Post Procedure, Transportation, the different sections of the sterilization area, and Patient Prep.
