What are your hospitals/surgery centers policy on using the Steris? Where I work we are having some disagreements about the timeline of use of the tray. How long do you have to actually "use" the tray? Our policy states the tray will be opened and used immediately. Sounds easy enough right? Well, some staff members are taking this to the extreme. Can the scrub person open the tray on a ring stand, go to the sink and scrub and then use the tray? At my previous employer, we would put the trays in the room without opening them and use them when needed. No real time table was in place. I am interested in how other facilities utilize their steris systems. Thanks!
