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. From decoding Julian dates to preventing load recall nightmares, Jessie explains why your department's sticker gun and sterilization labels are essential not only to your tracking workflows but also to the safety of your patients. We'll explore labeling best practices, outline common sticker gun dos and don'ts, and debate whether it's time for traditional labeling to stick around or make way for new tech. So, turn up the volume and grab your trusty sticker gun, because this episode is packed with insights and strategies to help you elevate your department's sterilization tracking game, one load sticker at a time!
