Every day, millions of medical procedures depend on one critical process, and most people never think about it. Medical device reprocessing is the silent backbone of patient safety, and it's time we talked about it.

Today, Sterile Processing Departments (SPD) and Central Sterile Service Departments (CSSD) face growing complexity: chemical sterilant emissions exposure, biofilm-resistant instruments, persistent endoscope contamination, and increasing pressure to deliver safer, more sustainable care.

The SPD/CSSD community deserves cutting-edge guidance. And it's coming.

Every day, millions of medical devices are reprocessed to support safe healthcare procedures worldwide, in the interest of patient safety.
But the reality is clear: reprocessing is becoming more complex than ever.

• Increasing outbreaks linked to reprocessing failures
• Occupational exposure risks at sterilization departments • Biofilm contamination on reusable devices
• Limitations of high-level disinfection (HLD) and the shift to low-temperature sterilization (LTS) • The need for more sustainable healthcare systems

Healthcare systems must evolve to meet these challenges.

The upcoming ASP SUMMIT 2026 webinar series will bring together leading experts to explore the future of medical device reprocessing, tackling today’s risks and opportunities while advancing safety, infection prevention, innovation, and sustainability.

How ultrasonic cleaners remove bioburden from medical devices?

Ultrasonic vibrations pass through the cleaning solution and create bubbles. As the bubbles become larger, they become unstable and implode, a process called cavitation. This creates a vacuum in the solution that draws debris from the instruments into the surrounding fluid. Some newer machines have an automated filling and draining capacity.
