Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 17th, 2024, and get ready to tune into MyFM from 8 AM to 6 PM for their epic annual Radiothon! 🎶
Not only is it a fantastic fundraiser for our local hospitals and community health centers, but it’s also a super fun way to stay in the know about all the exciting healthcare happenings in our region!
This year, every dollar raised for the PSFDH Foundation will help us get brand-new sterilization equipment.
Sterilization equipment and RO (reverse osmosis) filtration systems are an important component in hospitals.
Water quality is a critical factor in all stages of medical device reprocessing, aiming to ensure that surgical instruments and medical equipment are properly cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized.
Various minerals and contaminants commonly found in tap water can adversely affect this process, leading to several consequences during the central sterilization process. These contaminants can negatively impact the performance of sterile processing equipment, resulting in: costly rework and replacement costs, repeat loads/cycles, reduced longevity of instruments and medical devices, reduced performance and longevity of reprocessing equipment and/or potential patient risk due to biofilm formation and microorganism entrapment in damaged instruments.
Your support will help keep healthcare right in our backyard!
