Event Description

"nuvasive spine systems are manufactured in a way that prevents adequate cleaning and disinfection". All instruments listed have either excessively fine cannulation or had an inner shaft that rotates with an external shaft: the instrument cannot be disassembled to allow each piece to be cleaned. This makes it next to impossible for the staff in csp to ensure that the instrumentation is clean and able to be sterilized for the next patient. " these are quotes by csp personnel at this facility. ====================== manufacturer response for spine fusion systems: instruments x 8 in 5 different trays, (brand not provided) per site reporter. ====================== vendor rep offers nuvasive central sterile processing staff to visit our facility and work with our central sterile processing staff for information sharing and education; both csp departments can discuss common issues, frustrations and share techniques.
