Episode Synopsis

In today's healthcare environment, every minute and every detail matters—especially in sterile processing, where equipment readiness can be a matter of life and death. The evolution of sterilization technologies like Sterad has allowed hospitals and VA centers to move beyond outdated processes that once delayed surgeries and compromised patient care. High-level disinfection alone no longer cuts it when rapid, reliable sterilization is possible—and safer. For frontline teams, the ability to quickly turn over instruments without compromising on biological integrity or technician safety marks a true operational breakthrough. Sterad systems not only eliminate lengthy cooldown times but also deliver satisfaction across the board—from patients to surgeons to sterile processing teams. And with proactive, responsive service partners like Scott Johnson, even equipment maintenance becomes a non-issue. At the center of this experience is Annetta McKnight, Sterile Processing Service Chief at Carl Vinson VA Medical Center in Dublin, GA, who shares firsthand why dependable sterilization is foundational to modern healthcare.
