Every Sterile Processing department has responsibility for some type of endoscope reprocessing -- whether that is small diameter rigid scopes (such as arthroscopes) all the way up to complex, large diameter flexible scopes (such as duodenoscopes). At every stage of reprocessing, certain chemicals come into use to ensure these scopes are reprocessed safely & compliantly. On this episode 6 of Season 15, "The Chemical Epicenter," we bring back our #1 highest downloaded guest in the history of the Beyond Clean podcast, Mary Ann Drosnock, Director Clinical Affairs at Healthmark Industries to take us on a deep dive into endoscope reprocessing chemicals & workflows. Tune in for this fact-fueled conversation with one of the leading medical device reprocessing experts in our industry and a preview regarding the new AAMI ST91 document which will be releasing soon!
