ntil they get cited in an inspection, most sterile pro-
cessing departments are forced to cut corners and take
shortcuts. My job is to arrive on the scene in advance
of the surveyor's unannounced visit to discover areas
of needed improvement so your SPD passes inspection
with flying colors. Because I can't get out to see all of you, I'll share
the areas surveyors are sure to review. Don't say you weren't warned.

Get central sterile in tip-top shape before the surveyor shows up.
• LIGHTED MAGNIFICATION Surveyors want to see your reprocessing techs inspecting sterilized instruments with magnified
lighting.
