On March 21, 2026, VERDA Water Quality Systems will be on-site in Orange County for the 2026 SoCal Sterile Processing Spring Conference and Vendor Show—and we’d love to see you there.
Hosted by the HSPA SoCal Chapter, this in-person event brings together sterile processing professionals from across the region to dive into current challenges, emerging best practices, and real-world solutions that support safe, compliant instrument reprocessing. Attendees can earn 6 CEUs (HSPA) and 6 CEUs (CBSPD) while connecting with peers and industry experts who live and breathe SPD.
Why stop by the VERDA booth?
If water quality is on your radar—or keeping you up at night—our booth is a must-visit.
VERDA specializes exclusively in water quality for sterile processing, and our team spends every day helping SPDs navigate the practical realities of compliance, performance, and risk reduction. With the growing focus on ANSI/AAMI ST108, many departments are realizing that having an RO system alone doesn’t equal compliance. Water quality is more nuanced than that, and it touches everything from cleaning efficacy and instrument integrity to rewash rates and OR readiness.
That’s where we come in.
Ask Michael your ST108 water quality questions
At the VERDA table, you’ll have the opportunity to talk directly with Michael Scope, who works closely with sterile processing leaders across the country. Bring your real questions:
Are we actually producing the right quality water for each step of reprocessing?
How often should we be testing—and what should we be testing for?
Who owns water quality in our facility: SPD or Facilities?
What does “compliance” look like in day-to-day operations, not just on paper?
No sales pitch—just honest, experience-driven conversations grounded in standards, field data, and what we see working (and not working) in real SPDs.
Let’s talk water—because it affects everything
Water is the most used utility in sterile processing, yet it’s often the least understood. As standards evolve and scrutiny increases, now is the time to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and make sure your department is set up for long-term success.
If you’re attending the 2026 SoCal Sterile Processing Spring Conference and Vendor Show, make a point to stop by the VERDA booth, say hello, and bring your toughest water quality questions. We’re looking forward to the conversation.
