Happy SPD Week to every tech, lead and manager out there. 🎉

28% used. 100% reprocessed.

Researchers found surgeons use only about 13–28% of the instruments on a surgical tray. But once that tray is opened, sterile processing cleans, inspects and sterilizes every piece, used or not.

One Ontario hospital does this for 25,000+ devices a day.

Happy Sterile Processing Week! 💙 Tag someone in SPD who keeps your OR running.

How does the AquaBrush System™ work? 🔍

Instruments go into a fully enclosed chamber. One handpiece sprays air, water and SAFEKlinic® to pre-clean, and a second rinses with fresh water. Foot pedals run it, and the spray stays inside the chamber, not out at the sink.

It augments manual brushing; it doesn't replace your IFU.

SPD techs: which instrument takes you the longest to pre-clean? 👇

On October 3rd, Torvan Medical joined GI and endoscopy professionals at the 19th annual TexasSGNA Lonestar RoundUp.

We were especially proud to see our own Dr. Cheri Ackert-Burr take the stage as an invited speaker on sustainability in sterile processing. Reducing waste while never compromising patient safety is a conversation our field can't afford to skip.

Thank you to NTSGNA for having us, and to every nurse and tech who stopped by to talk shop. 💙

Anyone can hold a brush, but knowing where to look is the skill.

Soil hides in box locks (clean them open), serrations (brush into the teeth) and lumens (right-size brush, full length). Brush below the water line to limit aerosols, and inspect before anything moves forward.

SPD techs, what did you wish someone had shown you in your first month? 👇

Always follow the IFU and your facility's policy. Guidance: AAMI ST79 / CSA Z314.

Quick question for SPD techs: what's the one thing you'd fix at your inspection station?

Research on instrument errors keeps pointing to visualization. In one hospital system, 83% of staff-reported errors traced to inspection, identification or assembly (Nichol & Saari, 2023). Human factors work on SPD assembly also flags lighting, workspace, tools and access to instrument info as factors shaping the work (Alfred et al., BMJ Quality & Safety, 2021).

The table in the photo has an illuminated work surface. That's one approach to the lighting side. The studies didn't evaluate this table, so we're not claiming it reduces errors. We're more interested in what you'd change.

Lighting, space, positioning or tool access? 👇
