“ASP Ecosystem Helps Sanford Health Bismarck Reach New Heights”.

Sanford Medical Center is an institution known for its health care excellence which has experienced significant growth in recent years.¹ An increase in the volume of medical device reprocessing and sterilization work, and the use of an outdated, paper-based record keeping system, placed significant demands on staff, leading to increased opportunity for error and lost productivity.¹ This case study looked at the positive impact that introducing the ASP^TM Ecosystem had on the central sterile supply department.

“Assessment of Operating Costs Due to Energy and Water Use During Terminal Sterilization With STERRAD™ Systems Compared to a Steam Sterilizer”.

In order to gain an understanding of the resource use associated with different sterilization modalities and the resulting economic impact, a comparison study was conducted to analyse the energy and water consumption of three STERRAD™ Systems and one traditional steam-based sterilizer over a 24-hour period.

“Comparison Study of Environmental Hydrogen Peroxide Levels of STERRAD™ Systems and STERIS V-PRO® Low Temperature Sterilizers Reveals Striking Differences”.

In order to gain an understanding of the safety profile of different low-temperature sterilizers, a comparison study was conducted to evaluate the environmental H₂O₂ emissions of two STERRAD™ and two STERIS V-PRO^® sterilizers.

“The repair cost economies of STERRAD™ Systems sterilization vs steam sterilization”

In order to gain an understanding of the economic profile of low-temperature and steam sterilizers, a comparison study was conducted to evaluate the repair cost economies of STERRAD™ Systems sterilization vs steam sterilization

Revisiting Sterilization Efficiency with ASP Ecosystem: A 5-Year Retrospective of Sanford Medical Center Bismarck

Five years after our initial study, we returned to Sanford Medical Center Bismarck to assess the ongoing impact of the ASP Ecosystem. Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and an SPD renovation, Brandi Everding, the SPD Manager, shared valuable insights.
