Improper immediate-use steam sterilization techniques can put patients and staff at risk of infection and other serious injuries. Are you doing all you should to protect your patients and staff? Find out when you should use immediate-use steam sterilization (often referred to as flash sterilization) and what you need to do to meet rules and guidelines during ASCA's next webinar, "Rules and Best Practices for Immediate-Use Steam Sterilization." The webinar will take place next Tuesday, January 28, at 1:00 pm ET.
