Sanitization

• We sanitize anything and everything we can!

• This means that if can properly sanitize, evaluate, repair and distribute we will.

• For example we can’t accept foam mattress for beds because we can not sanitize them.

Where We Sanitize

• We have a sanitization room– This includes a steam room, washer & dryer

and the Hub Scrub. – We have paid approximately $700 from 2008

to the present for the Hub Scrub cleaning products.

– We clean 25-30 pieces of equipment in a month with one person devoted to cleaning.

When We Sanitize• When the equipment has completely gone

through the intake process and is repaired and ready to go.– If the equipment gets used for a demonstration or

learning function is it re-cleaned.– After sanitized, equipment

is bagged and placed in a

separate space away from

dirty equipment.
