Arthroscopic shaver handpieces are intricate instruments, essential for many surgical procedures. Yet, as a recent year-long study led by Cheron Rojo revealed, even carefully cleaned and inspected handpieces can harbor hidden debris, seal failures, or protein residues. Across 28 facilities in 10 states, the study found that a surprising number of handpieces showed internal or external defects, underscoring the importance of advanced inspection and testing to maintain patient safety and instrument performance.
Join Cheron Rojo, Senior Manager of Clinical Education at Healthmark, for a webinar where he will walk attendees through the findings of this case study, discuss relevant standards and manufacturer guidelines, and share practical strategies for improving inspection processes in your facility. You’ll learn why tools like borescopes and leak testers can uncover issues that are often missed during routine checks, and how to implement best practices that align with ANSI/AAMI ST79 and AORN recommendations.
The webinar, Verification in Testing and Inspection for Shaver Handpieces: Case Study 2023-2024, will be held on Thursday, August 21 at 2:00 PM ET. This engaging session is designed for sterile processing professionals, OR teams, and anyone involved in the care and handling of surgical instruments.
