Determining the appropriate soils that represent the soils from actual use is a continuing question for validation studies, just as determining the appropriate verification assays is a struggle for end-user verification, according to Bryans and two other summit presenters, Emily F. Mitzel, laboratory manager at Nelson Laboratories, Inc., and Ralph J. Basile, vice president, Healthmark Industries Company, Inc.

Quality assured: SPDs improve processes, outcomes
"The healthcare field is dynamic. Scientific advances have brought about some incredible advances in surgical and medical technology and instrumentation, which has advanced the quality of care. This new technology is more complex than ever before and thus presents a great challenge to SPDs, relative to care, reprocessing and sterilization," said Ray Taurasi, MBA, CRCST, CHL, FCS, ACE, director of clinical sales and service, eastern region, Healthmark Industries. "SPD requires the tools, resources and knowledge to address these new challenges and ensure quality outcomes."
