Under Pressure - IUSS Has Left the Building: How One SPD Made It to Zero

What if your department could go from over 10% immediate use steam sterilization (IUSS) cycles to nearly zero? In the Season 31 premiere of Beyond Clean, we're joined by Monica Anderson, Sterile Processing Manager and the fearless leader of a team that did exactly that. Monica walks us through the real-world strategies her department used to identify every pathway leading to IUSS—and how they systematically shut them down. From leading hands-on education in decontam to building stronger partnerships with the OR, Monica shares how data, trust, and teamwork turned high IUSS numbers into an opportunity for lasting culture and process change. If you're ready to rewrite the story of IUSS in your facility, you don't want to miss this inspiring conversation!
