Water quality is the hidden variable that can make—or break—instrument reprocessing outcomes. In Episode 5 of Belimed and VERDA’s “Water, Water, Water: Everything Water” series, our panel zeroes in on how to strengthen facility water management under ANSI/AAMI ST108 with practical, real-world steps. We’ll unpack municipal and utility water scenarios to watch (from seasonal source changes to disinfectant shifts), share best practices for improving hot- and cold-water performance at the point of use, and walk through a hospital case study you can emulate right away. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of where (and how often) to verify water quality, how to align monitoring with equipment IFUs and risk, and what data to capture so teams can troubleshoot quickly and confidently. The session is designed for SPD leaders, facilities/biomed partners, infection preventionists, and anyone responsible for water quality in the reprocessing workflow. This 60-minute program includes time for Q&A and offers 1.0 CE (HSPA & CBSPD). If you can’t attend live, the episode will be available on demand in the Belimed Classroom.
