Great platform I always wondered how sterile paper and ink were in the trays.

100 hours?!? Wow!

I am seeing post-it notes on top of a wrapped item or on the label of a wrapped it and even on a rigid container. (The post-it will have a room # on it.) That doesn’t seem like a good idea/good practice. Would a surveyor have an issue with this?

That was great! I learned a lot from that. Thank you !

Very throughly explained. Much appreciated.

ive witnessed this first hand from our offsite facility, then from a hospital itself. i didnt realize this happens everywhere.

Very informative, thank you cowboy of clean!

Very informative, loved all the examples, and quick tips definitely got me thinking . Thank you sir

I love that idea! I would be interested in being a part of that team when you put it together. I am also going to look into the job description and have it updated with testing equipment.

I agree with 85-90% of what you are saying. My only concern is with an associates degree, colleges tend to require too many courses that have nothing to do with the actual career, raising the cost of the education for profit. I do, however, think there should be more tech schools available nationwide. There should also be a nationwide pay standard set to incetivize education. I started 6 months ago without a degree or certification, it is possible to learn on the job but I agree that there needs to be more focus on the job description and the "why" up front. I do tons of research before I start something (there are many resources thanks to channels like yours and Boston career institute) so that helped me pick up on things faster than many of the people I work with. Some have worked there for over a year and are asking me questions. For my evaluation, they only focused on faster processing of instruments over quality. My immediate supervisor tells me that stained instruments are inevitable and not to focus on removing all stains. Thank you for what you do on this channel!

This is such an interesting and awesome topic! Thank you! I just graduated from a 4months sterile processing program and did a 6 week 40 hours a week in a hospital. Sterile technician definitely do a lot. Some people think we are just washing dirty instruments but no. I was amazed by the people who work in the spd. I learned how to do decontaminate different surgical instruments and those heavy loaned instruments, learn how to operate the sterilizers and making sure the parameters are met and making sure the biologicals passed. And I also learned how to picked cases. And so much more!

Important for us to know! Thank you Kevin!

Arlene Bush is so cool 😎

I appreciate you putting out this video as many people in SPD don’t understand how these instruments are used. As well, they may not comprehend how important each part of the instrument is and why they must be cared for properly.

John Whelan is the absolute best!

The basics are so important! Thank you Kevin!

Very interesting!

Great job Malinda!

Cheron is so good!

Thanks mam

UV inspection light... in addition to cement chunks lighting up, you'll see cement "dust" too. Osteotomes and Freers are sharp and not intended to be used as a cleaning device, don' t be that tech. There is Orthopedic and Dental Cement remover out there, check the IFU and see if they're compatible. Don't allow yourself to be placed in an unsafe condition to make up for the incompetence of the OR (lack of POUC)

I really like that separate container idea. Great info!

Thank you for all your content! I wish I would’ve known about you years ago…. better late than never!!

Great information! What is your suggestion if the facility will not purchase those?

Great insights from Katie Belski 😊

Should both test be done on the ultrasonic? Soil removal and cavitation?

its important to wipe down your area, keep your dept clean.

Such an interesting perspective. That was very interesting information. Thank you.

I have an idea for a series of episodes. What if you walked through the process of being apart of an AAMI Work Group? How to join, what the different groups review, what the actual process of reviewing, commenting, voting, and other things of working on the actual document.

🙌🏼

Excellent info. Thanks

How does Joint Commission or ACHC expect to see open case being transported to decontamination?

Thank you for all great information :)

❤❤❤ so helpful thank you

We had almost the same scenario happened at my home facility.

Great visuals!

Is it written anywhere as to where the indicators should be placed? I noticed many people don’t know that information.

You mentioned about not putting a load stamp on top of the BI cap. . Is it OK to write the load number with a sharpie on top of it?

Oh my that’s quite an example 😬😂 Great presentation and information

Oh my that’s quite an example 😬😂 Good info!

Again, great information.

Great seminar!

The video won’t play all the way through

When you refer to dilators… Do you mean something like the Maloney esophageal dilators?
