Designed to Kill: Keeping Safety at the Forefront of Peracetic Acid Use in Healthcare Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

What do flexible endoscopes and poultry have in common? I think many would be surprised to learn that the chemical used to make these two very different things safe is the commonality. Peracetic acid is used in hospitals for high-level disinfection and liquid chemical sterilization and in the foodservice industry to disinfect meat products. The difference is in the dose and on this Beyond Clean Vendor Spotlight we talk with David Hilliker, President and CEO of ChemDAQ Inc., about a chemical that is designed to kill and a brand new Peracetic Acid sensor, Steri-Trac 2 and 2+ that can help keep you safe. If you've been wondering how to ensure worker safety around these toxic chemicals during medical device reprocessing, we've got the answer right here. Tune in now to find out!

Thank You, Errors: Connecting the Dots on Surgical Instrument Reprocessing Challenges Sep 23, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of Beyond Clean Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch talks about the lessons we can be learn from the mistakes we make, instead of trying to hide them from each other. -- "We keep our error data to ourselves. We track different metrics, we use different targets, and for the love of all that is professional -- we keep the quality challenges in-house.

What this means is that we have those damned silo walls so freaking high around our departments that only someone with a lot of nerve and a grappling hook could ever climb in and see what is actually going on in our facility. In the meantime, individual Sterile Processing departments across the country may be struggling with the exact same quality challenges (or completely different ones) and we would have no idea. There could be systemic "crashes" happening at 50 other facilities in the US due to insufficient inspection of aspirating needles, and our own department could be completely oblivious to it..."
