Description

There are three different instructions for use that need to be considered when preparing a medical device for sterilization: the sterilizer, the medical device itself, and the packaging system. The FDA requires that medical devices be tested in just one type of packaging system and on this week’s release of the Beyond Clean Vendor Spotlight Series, we speak with Barbara Ann Harmer about the maze that is instructions for use to help people understand which IFUs to use under which circumstances. How do validation and user verification work together to help you make the right decision and focus on best practices that result in patient safety? If you've ever debated this issue in your department, you're not going to want to miss this Vendor Spotlight episode so tune in now!   Learn more by visiting www.onetray.com, e-mail them at info@onetray.com  and look for educational information and ask questions directly on LinkedIn and Facebook.   #VendorSpotlight #InstructionsForUse #MedicalDevice #PackagingSystem #Sterilization #Validation #Verification #ONETRAY #SterileProcessing #BeyondClean #WeFightDirty #SPD #CS #MDR #SPS #Surgery
