Burnout is defined as a state of emotional and physical exhaustion resulting from workplace stressors. Although not intended to be a fully comprehensive empirical analysis of causes of burnout, this article discusses four likely causes for burnout that are particularly relevant to HTM professionals in HDOs: (1) gaps in developing a trained and sustainable workforce, (2) growing demand for HTM expertise across knowledge domains, (3) increasing occupational stressors related to patient safety, and (4) perceived lack of understanding of employee needs. Next, based on existing literature, the article proposes four possible solutions in response to each of these issues: (1) developing human resource planning and mentoring to ensure adequate transfer of skills and knowledge, (2) implementing ways to accomplish knowledge filtering, (3) integrating HTM workers in quality improvement initiatives, and (4) implementing employee voice practices. The article concludes by discussing the possible benefits that may be derived from implementing these solutions.","PeriodicalId":35656,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Instrumentation and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10508863/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10081139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contributing factors to this increased attention include the growing popularity of transferring devices among sterilization modalities and the focus on aspects of microbiological quality other than sterilization. This systematic review examined the effects of sterilization on bacterial endotoxin, with attention drawn to industry standards and regulations to elucidate whether such documents are aligned with published data. In summary, numerous experiments have shown a reduction in pyrogenicity and/or limulus amebocyte lysate reactivity of endotoxin following sterilization, whereas a number of publications and industry standards have claimed (without data or references) that sterilization does not inactivate endotoxin. The results of this review would be useful for device manufacturers when selecting a sterilization modality or deciding whether to test for endotoxin pre- vs poststerilization, as well as for standards developers and regulators in aligning standards and regulations with peer-reviewed data.","PeriodicalId":35656,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Instrumentation and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10512995/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10121546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been suggested in the literature and industry standards that residual soil components, such as proteins, may undergo a chemical change when they are exposed to heat or experience prolonged drying times under ambient conditions. However, little experimental data are available in the literature to document this change or how is may be addressed for cleaning efficacy. This study presents the effects of time and environmental conditions on contaminated instrumentation from the point of use until the cleaning process begins. It demonstrates that soil drying after a period of eight hours changes the solubility of the soil complex, with a significant change occurring after 72 hours. Temperature also contributes to chemical changes in protein. Although no significant difference occurred between 4°C and 22°C, temperatures greater than 22°C demonstrated a decrease in soil solubility in water. An increase in humidity prevented the soil from completely drying and prevented the chemical changes affecting solubility from occurring.","PeriodicalId":35656,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Instrumentation and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10512989/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10050253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exposure to SS for appropriate temperature/time combinations creates a microbicidal environment that renders product sterile. Superheated steam (SHS) has been heated beyond its saturation point and is less microbicidal, compromising process efficacy. Sterilization monitoring systems should detect SHS. One method is to use biological indicators (BIs; e.g., rapid-readout self-contained BIs [RRSCBIs]). The purpose of this study was to determine if RRSCBIs can detect SHS. Pressurizing the boiler to 4,700 mB, manifold to 4,000 mB, and chamber jacket to 3,600 mB and heating the viewing window to 150°C in a 10-L BI evaluation resistometer vessel allowed approximately 12°C and 4.5°C of superheat in a nominal 121.75 ± 0.25°C and 132.5 ± 0.25°C cycle, respectively, to be reproducibly achieved. Replicate tests using multiple RRSCBIs from different batches were exposed vertically (cap up), inverted (cap down), and horizontally to SS and SHS. RRSCBI viability was determined using a fluorescent readout method. RRSCBIs exposed to SS at 121.75 ± 0.25°C for 7 or 14 minutes were negative. A total of 135 type A RRSCBIs were exposed to SHS (12°C) at 121.75 ± 0.25°C for 14 minutes. Zero of 45 RRSCBIs mounted vertically showed a positive fluorescent result, 26 of 45 mounted inverted were positive, and 45 of 45 mounted horizontally were positive. A total of 135 type B RRSCBIs were exposed to SHS (12°C) at 121.75 ± 0.25°C for 7 minutes. Twenty-four of 45 mounted vertically were positive, 41 of 45 mounted inverted were positive, and 45 of 45 mounted horizontally were positive. RRSCBIs detected SHS, but this was orientation dependent. Further work is required to establish the application of these findings in healthcare facility settings.","PeriodicalId":35656,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Instrumentation and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10634659/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72015570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
