SUMMARY:"Innovations in Steam Sterilization: Leveraging Evidence & Technologies for Safe Load Release"
DESCRIPTION:3M Health Care Academy* presents…“Innovations in Steam Sterilization: Leveraging Evidence & Technologies for Safe Load Release” \nSaturated steam sterilization cycle controls and monitoring indicators are continually challenged to determine whether\ncurrent state delivers safe and effective sterilization cycles results. As technology evolved\, cycle control variables with cycle\nphases were implemented\, and cycle performance printouts became available for each cycle. This allowed for safer cycle\nperformance interpretation and provided an additional tool for end users to determine whether a cycle was within the\nspecifications. To determine how lethal a saturated steam sterilization cycle was\, microorganism spores were used\, and their\nuse continues today. An increased demand for fast and accurate sterilization cycle release adds to the rigorous process of\nadopting new controls and quality indicator monitors. \nLearning Objectives  |  After participating in this activity\, learners should be better able to: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscuss about the different saturated steam sterilization applications\nUnderstand the requirements for cycle monitoring\nImplement adequate fast and reliable sterilized cycle release\n\nPresenter: \n \nPaulo Laranjeira\, Ph.D. | Full-time contractor with the U.S. FDA  |  Invited professor at post-graduate schools on equipment qualification and monitoring for the pharmaceutical and healthcare market \nCONTINUING EDUCATION  | 1.0 CE  |  3M is an approved provider by The California Board of Registered Nursing. Provider Number CEP 5770. Each Device Reprocessing 1-hour web meeting is approved by IAHCSMM\, CBSPD. These programs provide 1.0 CE contact hour. RN license number OR last four digits of Social Security Number is REQUIRED. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is no fee associated with this activity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor questions regarding this educational activity\, please call 1-800-228-3957 \n* NOTE: This is a supplier and/or industry resource-sponsored webinar.
