The Fabulous Four: Getting Social Media Right in the Name of Sterile Processing
In this episode of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch advocates for the use of Social Media for education in Sterile Processing: — “…we have the opportunity to shine an even greater light on the things that many outside our facilities may never see. What does a used loaner instrument tray look like coming back from the operating room? How easy is it to test the insulation on your laparoscopic graspers? What kind of material should be used to test the sharpness of your scissors? Educational graphics and short videos…can drive best practice and push our industry forward.”

From Microbiology to Medical Devices: The Validation Science Behind Our Chemicals
What goes into validating Sterile Processing chemicals prior to them making their way into our departments on the next semi-trailer backing up to the hospital dock? What must these chemicals be able to do before an independent laboratory validation scientist says they are good to go? On this episode 5 of Season 15, “The Chemical Epicenter,” we talk to Alpa Patel, B.S., RM(NRCM) Principal Scientist at Nelson Laboratories, LLC to go behind the scenes in the life of a validation scientist, and ask many of the common questions related to chemicals & medical devices used in the Sterile Processing industry. Tune in for a few myth-busting moments and a ton of great information about how laboratories around the globe are contributing to the larger mission of taking every surgical instrument #BeyondClean. We hope you enjoy!

What’s the Big Deal with Big Brother? Taking a Look at Surveillance Cameras in Your Sterile Processing Department
In this episode of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch considers the reasons for and against using surveillance cameras in SPD: — “A single large fragment implant tray could easily walk out our door to the tune of $120,000. To reference more recent incidents, a hospital could see $450,000 worth of colonoscopes stolen in broad daylight. Surveillance systems are a known deterrent of these kinds of crimes of opportunity, and can give much peace of mind to department leaders who struggle with high foot traffic around their storage areas.”
