The temp spikes. The humidity climbs. Your sterile storage alarms go off—now what? In this episode of Beyond Clean's Tray Command, we sit down with Senior Infection Preventionist Stephen Rusbarsky to explore the brand-new ASHRAE 43 guideline and what it means for Sterile Processing. Stephen breaks down what changes, what stays the same, and how this new guidance outlines actionable steps for responding to out-of-range temperature and humidity events. From defining realistic thresholds to understanding when to monitor, when to escalate, and when reprocessing is actually required, he'll walk us through the critical decisions that guide your team's next move when alarms start to sound. If you've ever had to make that Sunday-night "do we cancel Monday's OR schedule?" decision, this season finale has the answers you've been waiting for!
🎉That's a wrap on Season 30 #CleanFreaks! On behalf of our entire team at Beyond Clean and our awesome guests this season, we want to thank you for tuning in. Stay tuned for Beyond Clean Season 31 launching in 2026!
