Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SPD Fact Check - Cupboards, Carts, & Corkboards: Managing Sterile Storage Outside the SPD/OR
Q: How do clinics typically respond to SPD outreach, and what helps drive buy-in for better practices?
Clinics often react with curiosity or skepticism; buy-in tends to come from education, clear rationale tied to patient safety, and showing tangible benefits like improved instrument condition, policy alignment, and even services like on-site education and sharpening that illustrate value beyond compliance.
SPD Fact Check - Cupboards, Carts, & Corkboards: Managing Sterile Storage Outside the SPD/OR
Q: What are some of the more notable problems Krystal identifies when auditing clinics for instrument storage outside the SPD/OR?
Krystal highlights issues like lack of temperature and humidity controls, non-standardized processes, reliance on legacy practices, and inconsistent adherence to IFUs; she emphasizes auditing to assess current practices, educating staff, and aligning policies with manufacturer instructions to improve safety.
SPD Fact Check - Now You See Me: When Borescopes Reveal Dirty Instruments
Q: How do you handle the instrument and the borescope after you find debris?
Continue by returning the whole tray to decontam and then processing the borescope separately; keep track of which instruments require borescope inspection and ensure the process is documented in the tracking system.
SPD Fact Check - Now You See Me: When Borescopes Reveal Dirty Instruments
Q: What exactly do you look for when you peer inside a device with a borescope?
Debris can vary from soil and rust to brush fibers and surface scratches; it's crucial to distinguish manufacturing marks from actual contamination and know what a clean instrument should look like so you can decide next steps.
On Pathogens & PPE: Assembly Without Disruptions
Q: What are we seeing out there as common mistakes or citations in regulatory reviews?
The panel highlights deviations from IFUs, inadequate inspection, poor lighting, cluttered workspaces, and inconsistent environmental separation, plus human factors like fatigue and interruptions as frequent culprits that trigger citations.
