So Bianca, what about these complex medical devices makes them such a challenge to clean, disinfect, and make safe for the staff?

Bianca PaskertGUEST

Yeah, so these are devices that everyone, every department is reprocessing today.

Bianca PaskertGUEST

We're very familiar with them, the stack at the window or in the drying cabinet.

Bianca PaskertGUEST

And there's really two things I think that make them difficult.

Bianca PaskertGUEST

4:12

It's first, they don't go through the process normal that we are so familiar with.

Bianca PaskertGUEST

4:20

So our decontamination sink, then a sonic, then a washer disinfector.

Bianca PaskertGUEST

So they fall outside of what we're comfortable with and used to.
