Unexpected water quality events can disrupt sterile processing operations and compromise patient safety if not properly managed. ANSI/AAMI ST108 Section 13 outlines expectations for SPD and Facilities teams when critical water systems experience shutdowns, repairs, boil-water advisories, or other unplanned disruptions.
In this session, VERDA and Belimed experts will walk through ST108 Section 13 guidance and share practical decision-making strategies for water quality recovery and documentation. Attendees will learn how to assess risk, establish restart protocols, and verify system performance to ensure safe instrument reprocessing following interruptions or contamination events. This webinar highlights best practices, real-world scenarios, and step-by-step responses to ensure regulatory compliance and protect patient outcomes. 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.
