Show notes

In this episode of Articles-On-The-Go, Hank Balch looks at the practice of double-stacking trays inside the automated washer and dangers associated with this practice -- "At the end of the day, this is not just about compliant processes. Ignoring the basic science of cleaning, turning a blind eye to nationally recognized industry recommendations, and shrugging off manufacturer instructions for use is not an option that's available to you as a Sterile Processing professional — just to keep the surgeries churning in your operating room suites..."

Are Bigger Hospitals Safer? Not When it Comes to Surgical Instrument Reprocessing Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

Are bigger hospitals safer than smaller hospitals when it comes to surgical instrument reprocessing? The answer may surprise you...

On this episode of Articles-On-The-Go, Hank examine this question and gives some insight into the industry as a whole.

"I would say that it is a shame how little patients actually know about the surgical instrument quality issues they may be walking into for their surgeries. But it's more than a shame. It's a damn shame, and there is nothing truly informed about their consent when patients don't know they may go under rusty knives and dirty scopes."
