[You can listen to this interview here] Decontamination of loaner and consignment instrument trays is one of the most complex processes in a Sterile Processing department, and yet many facilities simply treat every vendor tray the same way -- regardless of the manufacturer's specific instructions for reprocessing. Way back in Season 4 of the Beyond Clean podcast, we brought on Bob Marrs, the nationally known clinical educator, consultant, and (now Emeritus) Vice President of Organizational Development at Beyond Clean, to discuss practical tips for reigning in the chaos of loaner decontamination.
If you've never had the opportunity to see or hear Bob present Sterile Processing education, he is truly one of our industry's gems, having won awards and recognitions such as the lifetime achievement Award of Honor from HSPA, and educated in hundreds of hospitals, conferences, and publications around the globe. Below you will find a number of additional links and resources to content that Bob developed and contributed to as we built Beyond Clean into the education engine it is today.

2 年Bob, was a customer and then teammate here at Aesculap. He was “first boots on the ground” in bringing our CS consulting from Germany to the US. Tears of sadness were shed when he left, and tears of joy were shed when he joined Beyond Clean to share his knowledge and passion to all. Did you know Bob also has a passion for music and has recorded with his musical family!
