Trust But Verify: How to Ensure that your Sterile Facility Surveyor is Doing What you Hired Them to Do
Topic Description : Gene Decaminada’s 2024 presentation concerning the sterile facility and equipment certification process forcefully demonstrated the need to carefully scrutinize the resulting reports, but the amount of time needed for this task appears daunting. This presentation will provide the busy designated person (DP) with a quick but effective checklist for assessing the quality of these certification reports and the performance of certification personnel. A “passing” grade can provide the DP with some peace of mind: a “failing” grade indicates the need to dig deeper.
