surgical instrument sterilization - Pre-Cleaning key to appropriate Medical instrument Cleaning

Created out of a desire to get rid of waste, increase efficiency and boost device cleaning ergonomics and security, the Pure Station(TMark) Medical Devices Pre-Cleaning System is the healthcare industry's first and only plug-and-play manual processing station.

Present aseptic processing department (SPD) sinks are a lousy compromise for device cleaning. There's an excellent reason why: they are not made for surgical instrument reprocessing at all. They may really be restaurant kitchen sinks used as device decontamination stations. These deep sinks are made to accept big cooking pots along with cooking implements that were smaller. Likewise they in many cases are used in SPDs, to clean quite large things as well as small ones. This might be considered a worst-case method for surgical instruments.

After years of seeing thousands of gallons of unused chemicals and water disappear, witnessing high-priced instruments and screws trickle through outsize drains, and experiencing back pain from falling off over deep restaurant-design sink basins, sterile processing technicians are more than ready for a new and much better solution to perform manual cleaning procedures.
