Experience the Sterile Processing Workflow in Action

Decontam → Prep & Pack → Sterilization → Transport & Storage

Booth 929 & 1128

This year at HSPA 2026, Healthmark and Getinge are exhibiting together in a unified booth experience designed around the real-world sterile processing workflow

As you move through the space, you’ll travel through clearly defined zones that reflect key stages of the SPD ecosystem, from decontam through prep & pack, sterilization, and transport & storage.

Each zone highlights the equipment and supplies that work together to support efficiency, consistency, and confidence throughout the reprocessing journey.

Once you've completed your tour, bring your booklet to the wheel to take a final 'spin' around the SPD.

HSPA Conference Session with Michael Matthews

Damage is Danger: What You Don't See Can (and Has) Hurt Patients

Monday, April 27
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Room 307-308

Flexible endoscopes are essential to patient care, but their delicate design means damage can easily go unnoticed—creating risks for reprocessing and patient safety.

This session explores real-world evidence linking visible scope defects to infection and injury, while highlighting the “3 T’s” of effective inspection: Tools, Training, and Time. Attendees will learn practical steps to strengthen inspection practices, reduce repairs, and support safer outcomes for patients and their facility.

Pre-Conference Workshop

Escape the Sterile Processing Dungeon

Saturday, April 25
8:30AM - 4:20pm
Location TBD

Put your sterile processing knowledge to the test in our interactive SPD Escape Room experience. Working alongside fellow attendees, you will race against the clock to solve puzzles, uncover clues, and navigate real-world sterile processing challenges before time runs out.

Participants will use product solutions, IFUs, and guidance from industry standards to unlock each step of the challenge. It is a fast-paced, hands-on way to sharpen your problem-solving skills, collaborate with peers, and see how small details can make a big difference in SPD. Can your team escape the SPD and make it to the castle?
