Your washer or disinfector is responsible for ensuring that your tools are properly cleaned and ready for use when you need them again. If your equipment isn’t adequately sterilized, the impacts can be devastating.

Fully sanitized tools keep patients safe, but if your equipment is lacking, then bloodborne pathogens could easily spread. These pathogens can live for long periods of time, which means that the risk can last a while. Within just a few days, you could have an outbreak of disease in many patients. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that all of your equipment that handles medical tools is sanitized the right way. These pieces of equipment include washers, disinfectors, and autoclaves.
