When it comes to adding space, a hospital has two options: move to a new building and renovate, which can completely disrupt staff operation, or use the current space and invest in a more space-efficient storage system. On this Beyond Clean Vendor Spotlight we talk with Ian Loper from DSI about an integrated, high-density storage system that can meet all the safe and efficient sterile storage and transportation needs of your facility. If you’re interested in an efficient healthcare storage system that will increase employee productivity, decrease the cost of labor, and increase bottom-line savings, you’re not going to want to miss this!  Visit www.DSIdirect.com to learn more or e-mail iloper@DSIDirect.com.

There's no such thing as a static Sterile Storage area. Instruments are constantly moving in and moving out of the space. But that's not the only kind of transition that happens with this critical inventory step. As we continue with Season 14 "Sterile Storage Wars," we asked Juanita Burrell, Manager of Sterile Processing for Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago to join us for Episode 2 to discuss her story of transitioning from a cramped, challenged storage space to something of Sterile Processing dreams. Tune in to hear how she took her staff complaints and got the ear of her C-Suite to secure the support and investment necessary to take her storage to the next level. If you're tired of hitting that proverbial brick wall for budget approvals and can't take another day of working out of a storage "closet," this is an episode worth forwarding to your favorite Director, VP, or CFO...!

What do flexible endoscopes and poultry have in common? I think many would be surprised to learn that the chemical used to make these two very different things safe is the commonality. Peracetic acid is used in hospitals for high-level disinfection and liquid chemical sterilization and in the foodservice industry to disinfect meat products. The difference is in the dose and on this Beyond Clean Vendor Spotlight we talk with David Hilliker, President and CEO of ChemDAQ Inc., about a chemical that is designed to kill and a brand new Peracetic Acid sensor, Steri-Trac 2 and 2+ that can help keep you safe. If you've been wondering how to  ensure worker safety around these toxic chemicals during medical device reprocessing, we've got the answer right here.
