Piece Out? Undone? The Great Decon Disassembly Debate
About this episode
Three turns of a screw could be the difference between a clean instrument and a dangerous infection risk—yet how do we know which instruments actually need to come apart in decontam? On this episode of Beyond Clean's Planet Decontam, we welcome the new President of HSPA, Arlene Bush, to weigh in on the critical debate around instrument disassembly during manual and automated cleaning.

Whether you're looking to build confidence in new technicians or streamline your processes, this is one episode you don't want to miss!
