- Summer Sterilization Tour Kicks Off in June -

WHAT:

Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP) is hosting a hands-on workshop tour to educate Operating Room (OR) professionals about the best practices in instrument sterilization and highlight the benefits of the STERRAD® NX™ Sterilization System. The tour aims to help healthcare facilities transition to terminal sterilization, the highest standard of care in instrument reprocessing. This information is even more important following the recent FDA announcements about the STERIS System 1® (SS1) and the STERIS System 1E (SS1E).  The workshop will include:

  • An overview of critical versus semi-critical devices
  • Demonstration on preparing flexible scopes for sterilization
  • Instrument packaging presentation
  • Information on proper use of instructions for use and the STERRAD® Sterility Guide
  • STERRAD® NX™ System demonstration

WHO:

OR professionals will share experiences and best practices to help hospital staff manage the transition from the SS1 smoothly and in a timely manner, as well as raise the standard of care in the OR.

Featured speaker:

Barbara Trattler, RN, MPA, CNOR, CNA, Director, Clinical Education for ASP

WHY:

Hospitals and institutions across the country using the SS1 face an unprecedented situation as they are required to transition to new sterilization or high level disinfection process. Now is the time to take infection prevention and patient safety to the next level in the OR.
