    Bioburden is something of a euphemism for residual human tissue. This podcast is extremely important. Sterile processing is critical for preventing infection. I am aware of a Pseudomonas infection after arthroscopy which severely disabled the patient. You did not define what you mean by a bore-oscope. Thanks Steve and Kevin .

    • @HealthmarkEducation
      @HealthmarkEducation 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for listening and for your comment! We also believe that this is a very important topic. Arthroscopy related infections have been associated with shavers since 2009. Unfortunately, we still find shavers that have residual debris in them after cleaning and sterilization. Part of the reason is because sterile processing departments don't have the borescope, they need to inspect the inside of the shavers. The borescope is any camera that can be used to look inside of channels within instruments that would otherwise be impossible to see visually. Secondly, technicians also need several different brushes to adequately clean all the surfaces inside the shavers.

    • @HealthmarkEducation
      @HealthmarkEducation 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The LumCheck is designed to simulate lumened instruments such as endoscopes. Designed to test the machines that clean lumened instruments, such as ultrasonic cleaners with the irrigation hook ups. The TOSI is designed to simulate surgical instruments such as forceps. TOSI is a more general design that is meant to test the cleaning efficacy of a washing machine or an ultrasonic cleaner.

    So does that mean for Automatic Leak testers that have a self test don't need to have it's pressure tested by a separate device?

    • @adamokada4332
      @adamokada4332 ปีที่แล้ว

      AAMI ST 91 (2021) directs for automated leak testers to be on a calibration schedule - to include verification of pressure output. Any leak tester (manual or automated) should have daily pressure verification performed and documented. If an automated leak tester allows such daily verification, that meets the intent of the directive.

  • @protector7886
    @protector7886 ปีที่แล้ว

    Now that ST91 2021 has been out for about 7 months. For department that say they follow AAMI. How quickly should they get in alignment with the update before they could be "dinged" by the Joint Commission?

    • @adamokada4332
      @adamokada4332 ปีที่แล้ว

      My answer has been that hospitals do not need to comply with the standard immediately, but if their facility/system states that they align with AAMI standards, then they at least need to show that they have a plan in place to move towards compliance with ST91 when TJC comes in. As far as a date of compliance, I honestly don't think there is one, but if the facility changes its policies to reflect changes in ST91, then they will be held to that.
