Benefits of Clean Steam and Its Importance for Steam Generation
Purified water, known as critical water in ANSI/AAMI ST108, is facility water treated by reverse osmosis, a deionizer or combination of the two. Since purified water has only trace amounts of contaminants, there should be virtually no deposits from steam on the chamber walls or instruments. Purified water reduces the need for expensive chamber cleanings and improves the longevity of instruments and sterilizer components. Come learn all about the benefits of clean steam and discover how it affects the sterilization process and patient safety. Review standards and guidelines that recommend the use of clean steam and how to achieve it.

Opening Keynote: The Power of Human Connection
In this one-of-a-kind keynote presentation, National Geographic Explorer Chris Bashinelli takes us on an international journey—from Tanzania to Brooklyn to Mongolia—helping us tap into the power of true human connection. When every single individual feels safe to bring their whole, most authentic selves to work, we create an environment that empowers each of us to become our best selves. When we remember the incredible impact our work has in the lives of others, we have the power to change the world— one instrument, one day and one patient at a time. Through stories, videos and exercises, Bashinelli brings the power of human connection to life for each of us.

Everyone’s Dirty Little Secret
Technicians know certain lumened instruments cannot be cleaned, yet they often go through the motions of brushing and flushing per the manufacturer’s instructions for use (IFU) and hope their efforts are good enough. Borescopes recently entered the scene as a disruptive technology that enables something never possible before—seeing what’s inside devices. In this session, three experts describe the Lumens 2.0 study they conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of cleaning IFU for orthopedic and neurosurgery instruments. They will share case studies whose outcomes are even more horrific than expected. Participants will learn how to shed light on their safety concerns by using borescopes and swabs to evaluate IFU

Equipment Planning Doesn’t Stop after Construction
Construction and renovation start with a detailed capacity and workflow analysis to develop an equipment plan to meet the department’s current and future needs. Just like predicting the weather, the farther into the future we look, the less accurate the prediction becomes. Changes in worker demographics, supported procedures, and medical device technological advancements alter the department’s equipment needs. Added challenges from aging equipment and equipment obsolescence make it clear that the once relevant equipment plan has become outdated and useless. This program discusses how equipment planning should be adapted to meet these challenges and provides Sterile Processing leaders with the support needed to justify new technologies to keep their department running smoothly.

Reprocessing Outside of Sterile Processing: Lessons Learned from Opening Ambulatory Locations
Establishing highly reliable processes for reprocessing outside of Sterile Processing departments (SPDs) is challenging due to a variety of factors. This session presents the role of Infection Preventionists (IPs) and their partnership with the SPD when establishing outside reprocessing spaces. The speaker will review the IP’s expectations for new reprocessing spaces, highlighting different scenarios of designing, constructing and opening ambulatory locations. Lessons learned, key opportunities, and pitfalls to avoid when creating new reprocessing space outside the SPD will also be discussed.

Instrument Tray Quality—Because Every Patient Deserves It
If you or a loved one needed surgery at your facility, how confident would you be that any instrument set pulled off the shelf would be safe for use? When faced with this question, many SP professionals know the trays and technicians with which we would be most comfortable. Disparities in set quality are indicative of process challenges that ultimately lead to risk for patients. This workshop addresses how to implement a proactive instrument set quality assurance program that can enhance instrument safety and performance for all procedures—because every patient is someone’s loved one.

Instrument Tray Quality—Because Every Patient Deserves It
If you or a loved one needed surgery at your facility, how confident would you be that any instrument set pulled off the shelf would be safe for use? When faced with this question, many SP professionals know the trays and technicians with which we would be most comfortable. Disparities in set quality are indicative of process challenges that ultimately lead to risk for patients. This workshop addresses how to implement a proactive instrument set quality assurance program that can enhance instrument safety and performance for all procedures—because every patient is someone’s loved one.

Leading Lights: Infection Prevention’s Role in IFU Compliance
To provide safe passage into a harbor, lighthouses are equipped with two leading lights, one at the top and the other at the bottom. When these leading lights align, ship captains can be assured that the pathway is safe. This dynamic mirrors the relationship between Sterile Processing (SP) professionals and Infection Preventionists (IPs) in ensuring compliance with manufacturers’ instructions for use (IFU). Infection Prevention and Control plays an important role in preempting noncompliant IFU, auditing adherence, and assessing the risks of conflicting IFU. With The Joint Commission publishing new standards highlighting IFU compliance, alignment between IPs and SP leaders is vital to ensure patient safety is never compromised.

Beyond Service to the OR: Strategies for Oversight of Ancillary and Specialty Areas
Establishing more active relationships with specialty care areas outside of the Operating Room will positively impact patient care. SP professionals are responsible for the quality of medical devices throughout the instrument cycle, including transport, storage and point-of-use treatment in clinics and specialty care areas. Personnel working in specialty areas often have limited knowledge about the science of sterilization. We will discuss ways to assess the current state of these interdepartmental relationships and how strengthening them can improve patient safety and increase compliance with regulatory standards and guidelines for accreditation.

You Down with PPE?
It is crucial to wear the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) in Sterile Processing areas and to put it on and remove it properly. Cross contamination and risks to staff safety can occur if the facility-defined process for PPE use is not followed. This session outlines the importance of PPE and the reasons behind the requirements for wearing it. Participants can participate in a hands-on demonstration of the PPE removal process, which—with the use of a bioluminescence product—will demonstrate how easily employees can contaminate themselves during removal steps.

It is crucial to wear the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) in Sterile Processing areas and to put it on and remove it properly. Cross contamination and risks to staff safety can occur if the facility-defined process for PPE use is not followed. This session outlines the importance of PPE and the reasons behind the requirements for wearing it. Participants can participate in a hands-on demonstration of the PPE removal process, which—with the use of a bioluminescence product—will demonstrate how easily employees can contaminate themselves during removal steps.

Impact of the Pretreatment and Restoration Processes on the Surgical Instrument Life Cycle and SPD Efficiency
This workshop, presented by Dr. Weigert, addresses how water quality (per ANSI/AAMI ST108 recommendations), processing start times, and the use of pretreatment detergents can affect the life cycle of surgical instruments and the efficiency of a Sterile Processing department (SPD). An interactive hands-on demonstration at several workstations will demonstrate how the use of a pretreatment detergent in the Operating Room (OR) impacts the cleaning process in the SPD. Participants will also understand how the appearance of surgical instruments can be restored. Speaker(s): Anas Aljabo Matthias Tschoerner

Creation and Implementation of a High-Volume Spinal Program in a Community Hospital: A Multidisciplinary Collaborative Approach
With more complex procedures moving into community hospital environments, departments must work collaboratively to ensure optimal quality. With significant fiscal constraints, collaboration and lean practices are extremely important to provide high-quality, efficient care. This session highlights the establishment of a spinal program in a community hospital, which was based on intense collaboration and evaluation with the surgeon, spinal surgery coordinator, and Sterile Processing team lead. With thoughtful collaboration and planning and integration of the SP lead in the Operating Room environment, high quality care can be delivered, surgeon satisfaction can be enhanced, costs can be quickly recouped, and volume can be increased.

Power of the Preceptor: Bridging the Gap Between Education and Execution
Under the direction of Whitney Huddleston, the Sterile Processing educators at the University of Kansas Health System identified four common obstacles associated with staff onboarding and educational retention: focusing on standardizing training processes, developing targeted resources for preceptors, streamlining educational objectives, and increasing competency for staff. This presentation discusses developing an SP-targeted preceptor course, partnering to address critical conversations, understanding adult learning styles and their impact on learning, and assessing standardization of education on culture. Identifying and addressing these areas became instrumental in bridging the gap between education and execution.

Solving the $PD Quality and Production Challenge: An Update
If your SPD is not meeting its production and quality goals and it is a struggle to get capital resources for the department, this session is for you. The presenters will review their study, conducted in cooperation with the University of Michigan Industrial Engineering Department, which highlights the cost of SPD-related errors. This session covers the three primary goals of every SPD and the four variables that impact one’s ability to achieve these goals. The presenters will discuss why hospital incident reporting systems are grossly inadequate for SPD quality management and how to apply Lean Six Sigma methodology to improve SPD production and quality. Using real-world examples of what works and what does not, the session will prepare attendees to implement actionable plans to improve their SPD performance and quality.

Game of Sterilization: Are You Ready to Ace Every Load Monitoring Across Sterilization Modalities?
This fun and engaging presentation explores the fundamentals of steam and vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2) sterilization. It invites participants to differentiate the two primary modalities of sterilization and explores the technology behind the “king” of monitoring tools: the biological indicator (BI). It also provides the rationale for performing every load monitoring (ELM) with a BI regardless of the sterilization modality.

Are You Smarter Than The Average Sterile Processing Technician?
It is important to periodically take time to return to the basics. If we expect to remain vigilant and proficient, we must turn off the cruise control and review the general standards of performance in the SPD. This presentation covers processing issues at the point of use, in the decontamination area, and during assembly. We will also discuss proper packaging components, sterilization practices, and storage area standards. This game show–style session will make it fun to test your knowledge of basic SP concepts, standards and job performance expectations.

Sterile Processing Feud
Join us for the Feud! This game will allow participants to have fun while discussing various aspects of the SP technician’s workday. It will bring to the forefront things we don’t normally think about while we work and reinforce what we know as good practices. Based on a survey of 100 SP technicians from across the country, the questions fall within six broad categories: consumables, solutions, rigid containers, surgical instruments, equipment and case carts. After each round of questions, there will be time for discussion.

The Journey of Water Quality Implementation in Hospitals
Modern medical devices pose a significant cleaning challenge, and the rise of superbugs, which can survive inadequate cleaning, are serious risks to patient safety. Any shortcomings in the cleaning process can lead to patient harm and reduce the lifespan of devices. A key element in addressing these challenges is the quality of water used in processing. High-quality water enhances the effectiveness of cleaning agents and rinsing processes. This program discusses the history of water quality and its critical role in device processing; the consequences and adverse effects of poor water quality in the SPD; and effective water testing as defined by ANSI/AAMI ST108:2023.

QA Foundations: Building Blocks for Reprocessing Excellence
ANSI/AAMI provides guidance about quality assurance monitoring for medical device processing. This presentation addresses what the standards describe as a quality management system (QMS), and participants will learn how to get started in their department. Covering topics from equipment testing to cleaning verification, this workshop reviews various elements of quality management, including who is responsible and how to begin or improve what is already in place. Using interactive resources, we will identify proactive and reactive quality measures and their role in medical device processing. Participants will leave with an outline containing requirement references, a space for stakeholder and working group recommendations, and other next steps to design a compliant and comprehensive QMS.

The Awakening: A New Generation of Leadership
Fifty years ago, the workforce was different. Authoritarian leaders were quite common, and employees accepted that as status quo. Today’s workforce is not willing to accept those same working conditions. The newer generation of workers is enlightened with media and information at their fingertips, which requires leaders to adapt their leadership styles to meet the needs of the incoming workforce. This presentation provides insight and tools to help leaders guide the younger members of their workforce to success. Speaker(s): Preston Rosales

Today’s workforce is not willing to accept those same working conditions. The newer generation of workers is enlightened with media and information at their fingertips, which requires leaders to adapt their leadership styles to meet the needs of the incoming workforce. This presentation provides insight and tools to help leaders guide the younger members of their workforce to success. Speaker(s): Preston Rosales
