Clearing the Air – Part 2: AAMI ST58 Roundtable Discussion
In Part 2 of our Clearing the Air series, ChemDAQ and ASSI, along with real-world SPD educators, break down the latest updates to ST58 from the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation and what they mean for today’s sterile processing departments.
This roundtable discussion covers:
✔️ The elevation of ST58 from recommended practice to formal standard
✔️ Integration of ethylene oxide guidance and expanded annexes
✔️ Real-world chemical exposure risks (and why smell isn’t a safety strategy)
✔️ Documentation expectations tied to compliance and survey readiness
✔️ Practical education strategies to strengthen staff safety
✔️ How data, monitoring, and technology can reduce compliance risk
Whether you’re an SPD leader, educator, technician, or healthcare administrator, this conversation provides actionable insights to help protect staff, strengthen documentation, and align with evolving regulatory expectations.
If chemical sterilization safety and compliance matter to your department, this discussion is a must-watch.
