1st topic:

"Technology behind Sterilization monitoring"

Speaker: Jane Barcelo

In any hospital facility there is the concern of hospital acquired infections. Regulations require sterilization monitoring to ensure the sterilization equipment is functioning properly. Several types of sterility monitors exist; but what are the differences, are biological indicators really a better indicator than chemical indicators, and what do they all really indicate? We will be talking about the technology behind sterilization monitoring indicators and how they are designed to indicate if different parametric release metrics have been met. Learn how the chemistry behind the indicators allow for control and specificity to sterilization cycles. This discussion is focusing on chemical indicator technology as well as how they perform relative to biological indicators.

2nd topic:

"A look at your potential future: Enabling on-time case cart deliveries with intelligent automation and seamless integrations"

Speakers: Lars Søndergaard & Thamar Steijaert

Find out how you can deliver case carts just-in-time. We look at how the case cart content can dynamically change based on patient, surgeon, room and other factors. And how you ensure last minute changes are handled in the best way across multiple integrated hospital systems. Ergonomics, efficiency and quality are always important factors. See the possible ways these can be improved using either automation or software support.
