Enroll Now A Technician’s Guide to Water Quality Testing The knowledge of water in medical device processing is rising and with it there are quality expectations. Processing technicians now have new responsibilities to ensure the quality of water. Enroll Now Importance of Water Quality for Medical Device Reprocessing Water quality is critical in any process within a Sterile Processing Department (SPD). Inadequate water quality during medical device reprocessing can cause a number of negative outcomes. Enroll Now Mechanical Cleaning Safety: A Tale of Two Sides Most medical devices that go through sterile processing departments spend time in mechanical cleaning. Dirty medical devices enter, and clean ones leave. Many assume all the safety hazards are found on the dirty side of operation, but mechanical cleaning safety is truly a tale of two sides. Enroll Now Sterilization Choices for the SPD Proper sterilization of surgical instruments is critical to infection prevention and patient safety. The sterilization process breaks the chain of infection by preventing transmission of pathogens between patients. Hospitals today can choose between different sterilization processes to accommodate the broad array of medical device designs and materials. Rigorous sterilization quality control programs help ensure that the devices are safe and ready for patient use. Enroll Now When Is Disposable the Right Choice for SPD? Understanding when to use disposable and reusable items in sterile processing applications.
