In case you missed it on November 18th, this webinar is now available on-demand.

Healthcare-acquired infections are a major challenge for healthcare organizations. Yet current high level disinfection practices come with challenges: exposure to harmful chemicals, inconsistent manual processes that can slow workflow, and lack of effectiveness in eliminating microorganisms on the probe – including the handle.

One of the top 5 non-compliance findings by The Joint Commission is reducing the risk of infections associated with medical devices or equipment.¹ It is now known that high-risk HPV (human papillomavirus) is strongly resistant to a number of disinfectants including aldehyde-based high level disinfectants.² This webinar will provide detail regarding this new development and offer potential solutions to mitigate transmission risk in the ultrasound environment.

Join us for this event to learn about current guidelines, common practices and potential solutions to overcome challenges.
