The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) will offer the webinar, Ethylene Oxide Cycle Optimization, on Tuesday, July 14, 2015, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT.
The webinar will discuss the varying approaches to optimizing Ethylene Oxide (EO) cycles such that improvements can be made that may result in lower cycle times, faster turn-around time, and/or reduced EO residuals. This webinar will offer a roadmap that can be used to initiate successful process improvements as well as a methodical approach with examples and tools to facilitate a cycle optimization initiative. This webinar will also present a practical approach to EO cycle optimization so that participants can initiate a project with definable goals and outcomes that may result in one or more process improvements, such as, but not limited to, lowering EO residuals, decreasing turn-around-time, and can result in a dramatic financial savings to your organization.

What Lies Beneath: Why Borescopes Are Essential for Verifying Surgical Instrument Cleanliness
July 16th 2025Despite their smooth, polished exteriors, surgical instruments often harbor dangerous contaminants deep inside their lumens. At the HSPA25 and APIC25 conferences, Cori L. Ofstead, MSPH, and her colleagues revealed why borescopes are an indispensable tool for sterile processing teams, offering the only reliable way to verify internal cleanliness and improve sterile processing effectiveness to prevent patient harm.
