Sterile Processing leaders across South Dakota are gathering in Sioux Falls—and VERDA Water Quality Systems will be there. CEO Jeffrey Paquet will cut through the confusion around ANSI/AAMI ST108, showing exactly how to translate the standard into everyday practice. In this practical, myth-busting session, you’ll learn why “we have RO, so we’re all set” can still leave gaps; how to apply the three water classifications (Utility, Critical, Steam) across washers, ultrasonic cleaners, and sterilizers; which parameters to monitor and what to do when results drift; and how to build a cross-functional water management team that actually works. Jeff will share real-world examples, simple sampling/threshold workflows, and documentation habits that satisfy surveyors—without burying your staff in busywork. Bring your questions and leave with a checklist, leadership talking points, and a clear first-90-days roadmap to strengthen compliance, reduce rework, and protect patients.
