Reusable medical devices and equipment are essential to healthcare delivery, but inadequate cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization can create significant risks for patient safety, including the transmission of pathogens and healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). This three-part webinar series explores the infection prevention challenges associated with reusable medical equipment, providing healthcare professionals with practical knowledge and strategies to strengthen reprocessing practices. Participants will examine common sources and pathways of contamination, explore infection mitigation strategies, and gain a better understanding of the factors that contribute to safe and effective device reprocessing.

The series will also explore the system-level factors that support successful steam sterilization, including water quality, infrastructure, equipment, staffing, and workflows, as well as the unique cleaning and disinfection challenges associated with infusion pumps, anesthesia units, and ventilators. Through real-world examples, industry guidance, and practical strategies, participants will gain insights to improve reprocessing processes, align practices with manufacturer instructions and industry standards, reduce infection risks, and support patient safety, regulatory compliance, and equipment longevity.
