This Webinar is designed to provide practical instruction on effective ways to control and prevent healthcare-acquired infections that may be spread via improperly cleaned, decontaminated or sterilized surgical instruments and devices. The sterile processing department (SPD) is on the front line against the spread of infectious microorganisms, so it is key for this department's personnel to be able to perform properly all steps associated with the functions of decontamination, assembly and sterile processing, sterile storage, and distribution of surgical instruments and trays.

This Webinar will teach SPD managers and technicians, as well as review for ICPs, the imperatives of infection prevention related to the complicated issues of decontamination (including transportation, protective attire, sorting, soaking, and washing), inspection, assemblage and packaging, the sterilization process, quality assurance monitoring, safety aspects, proper education of SPD personnel, and much more.
