GOT THE TIME? A simple kitchen timer can help you standardize and monitor soak times with no chance for error.

STANDARD TIME
Egg Timers Ensure Proper Decontamination

Different surgical instruments require different decontamination soak times. Rather than relying on staff to estimate soaking time lengths with a glance at the clock, we wanted to be more compliant with manufacturers' instructions for use. We've found the use of simple, wind-up-and-count-down egg timers to be a big help in this regard. It's a simple purchase that'll pay big dividends in your sterile processing department.
