Are your load stickers telling the full story of your sterilization workflows? Or are they missing key details that could mean the difference between a successful recall and a departmental crisis? On this episode of Beyond Clean Season 25, we welcome Jessie Lopez, Educator & Quality Assurance Manager, who's ready to #Stirthatpot and discuss tools in our SPDs we often take for granted, yet they play a critical role in our sterilization workflows--the sticker gun & sterilization labels.
