Beyond Clean Podcast

How much do you know about the history of ethylene oxide and the formative role it has played in modern medical device sterilization? For older generations of Sterile Processing professionals, images of large tanks and extended aeration times may come to mind. For younger generations of technicians, EtO technology may be little understood and likely even misunderstood. On this Season 4 rewind of the Beyond Clean podcast, we sat down with Ted May to discuss the hidden history of ethylene oxide, and discuss the importance of this sterilization modality to the past and future of the global sterile processing industry. No need to dust off the history books on this one – just tune in and let us take you Beyond Clean.

Decontamination of loaner and consignment instrument trays is one of the most complex processes in a Sterile Processing department, and yet many facilities simply treat every vendor tray the same way -- regardless of the manufacturer's specific instructions for use.
