Glad You Asked: Q&A with an Infection Control Practitioner on the ONE TRAY

What is the shelf life of a ONE TRAY® container? Why is everyone so confused about things like load documentation, cycle times, and water? Joining us on this week's Beyond Clean Vendor Spotlight™ series is Melissa McVaugh, Infection Preventionist at Standardized Sterilization Concepts (SSC), to talk about the most common questions users encounter in the field during onboarding the device, training new staff, and passing accreditation surveys. In this episode, Melissa clears up some of the misunderstandings out there regarding current guidelines and important terms that every reprocessing professional should know. Whether you're thinking through cycle times, expiry dating, or anything else in between, this interview will help equip you with frontline experience and successful survey conversations so that you can educate your SPD, OR, vendor, and survey teams with confidence.  For any queries or additional information, reach out to ONE TRAY®/IST at [email protected] or call them at 937-619-0138.
