The updates to ANSI/AAMI ST91:2021 created new challenges for many GI departments, requiring swift action to ensure compliance. Here are a few success stories Pure Processing has been a part of helping departments navigate these new challenges: 🏥 Missouri: Custom Sink Solutions for Tight Spaces ❌ Problem: Limited space for a new reprocessing sink due to window constraints. ✔️ Solution: Pure Processing designed a custom two-basin sink to fit the space while meeting ST91 requirements. 📈 Result: Achieved compliance with a space-efficient sink design. 🏥 Texas: Basin Size Compliance ❌ Problem: Newly purchased triple-basin sinks didn’t meet the ST91 size requirement. ✔️ Solution: Provided ST91-compliant sinks from existing inventory with short lead times. 📈 Result: Met basin size requirement and completed the project on time. 🏥 Illinois: Complete Compliance Overhaul ❌ Problem: Large hospital far from ST91:2021 compliance. ✔️ Solution: Installed height-adjustable reprocessing sinks exceeding size requirements and equipped with necessary tools. ➕ Additional Steps: Borescopes and mounted magnified task lights for visual inspection guidelines. 📈 Result: Achieved full ST91:2021 compliance with ergonomic benefits.

Prep & Pack at The Surgery Center at 900 North Michigan Avenue’s #SterileProcessing department in Downtown Chicago has just completed a workstation renovation! The upgrade includes the installation of two custom-sized PureSteel™ Ergonomic Workstations, enhancing #compliance with ANSI/AAMI ST79 standards. Their new workstations are height-adjustable and made from nonporous materials. Their space feels more organized, with designated areas for #BlueWrap and streamlined workflow. During the design process, we ensured that the workstations would fit through the center’s elevators, making the installation smooth and hassle-free. We hope the team enjoys their upgraded setup!

Not all SPD or GI sinks meet the needs of their departments. Reprocessing tasks rely on adequate space and workflow to ensure compliance, and ultimately patient outcomes. See how a sink, in particular, might not meet the standards for an adequate sink: https://hubs.ly/Q02P7vfJ0

📚 Does Your #SterileProcessing Department Need an Educator? Steven Adams, Central Sterile Manager at Sinai Hospital Lifebridge Health, shared insights on assessing the need for an #educator: 🔍 Who is currently serving as your educator? Is a nurse, peri-op educator, or manager filling in? While they may assist, their SPD-specific expertise might be lacking, potentially creating knowledge gaps. 🚨 Error reports & quality events: Are quality events reaching the OR? Issues like bioburden or missing items from trays could be signs that your team lacks essential training. 📋 Internal auditing & day-to-day activities: Regular internal audits by someone other than a manager are crucial for maintaining quality. If the same issues come up in safety huddles or in-services are infrequent, your team might not be receiving the training they need. 📝 Key questions to ask: • Who is currently addressing my department’s training & educational needs? • Are quality events rising? • Is there a high number of #OR complaints? • Are the same problems resurfacing in safety huddles? Educators can make a big impact on these challenges. Learn more by reading our collaborative article!
