f you see one of
our reprocessing
techs wearing a
yellow safety vest and
standing on an orange
anti-fatigue mat,
please don't interrupt
her, for she is
reassembling instru-
ment sets that will
soon be used in sur-
gery. We've found that
accuracy improves
when techs can focus
on instruments with-
out interruption.
