🚧 Planning a Reprocessing Project or Renovation? 🏥

Congratulations on getting the green light for this exciting opportunity! Whether you`re updating outdated equipment or reimagining your department’s workflow, thoughtful planning is key to ensuring success. Here are some important considerations to guide your process:

1️⃣ Equipment Matters

🔵 Height Adjustability: Invest in sinks and tables with reliable, electro-mechanical lifters to create a comfortable workspace for all staff.
🔵 Ergonomic Design: Features like wrist rests, proper basin depths, and easy access to tools help reduce strain and improve efficiency.
🔵 Longevity: Choose high-quality equipment designed to withstand years of heavy use—this is a long-term investment!

2️⃣ Optimize Workflows

🔵 Pegboards: Essential for keeping tools and materials organized and within reach, reducing time spent away from workstations.
🔵 Workflow Plates: Clearly label sink basins for specific tasks to improve compliance and showcase process clarity during inspections.

3️⃣ Account for Space Limitations

🔵 Standard & Custom Sizes: Whether you have room for standard-sized equipment or need custom configurations, a flexible partner can help you make the most of your space.
🔵 Custom Features: Tailor basin sizes, shelving, and layouts to fit your department’s unique needs and maximize every inch.

This project is a rare opportunity to implement meaningful changes that will benefit your team for years to come. By focusing on equipment, workflows, and spatial constraints, you can create a department that’s efficient, ergonomic, and ready for the future.

🔍 Essential Tips for Ocular Instrument Reprocessing 🔍

Ocular instruments require specialized care to prevent risks like Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome and other infections. Check out this blog for answers to key questions regarding safe reprocessing:

1️⃣ What are the risks of improper cleaning?

2️⃣ How should instructions be modified for ocular devices?

3️⃣ How do IFUs guide these processes?

❗What’s the biggest challenge your team faces with reprocessing complex instruments?

As surgical technology advances, so does the complexity of reprocessing—especially in #SterileProcessing and #GI departments. The intricacies of these designs, combined with rigorous IFU standards, present a formidable challenge to ensuring patient safety.

We dive into five types of surgical instruments that require extra consideration:

1️⃣ Robotic Instruments: Known for their “nooks and crannies,” robotic instruments are challenging to completely decontaminate. From sink basin size to flushing channels under pressure, proper reprocessing requires careful planning and potentially updated equipment.

2️⃣ Flexible Endoscopes: Long, narrow channels and complex ports make these instruments prone to biofilm if not handled correctly. AAMI ST91:2021 emphasizes the need for specialized training to keep reprocessing practices safe and consistent.

3️⃣ Ocular & Ophthalmic Instruments: When improperly reprocessed, these instruments pose risks like Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome (TASS). Many IFUs call for enzyme-free detergents and single-use brushes to avoid contamination risks that could impact vision.

4️⃣ Loaner Instruments & Flexible Reamers: Handling loaner equipment requires thorough training, stringent IFU reporting from vendors, and dedicated #decontamination protocols. A robust program ensures all instruments meet the facility’s safety standards.

5️⃣ Other High-Risk Instruments: Specialty tools often have complex cleaning needs that may include specific water quality or single-use items to ensure thorough sterilization. ...
