How often are drain baskets checked?

Drain baskets are checked daily as part of routine maintenance and infection control practices in a sterile processing environment. This frequency ensures that any debris or contaminants that may have accumulated are addressed promptly, thus maintaining cleanliness and preventing any compromise to the sterilization process. Regular checks help to identify issues before they become larger problems, such as blockages that can hinder proper drainage during sterilization and cleaning cycles. Furthermore, daily inspections reflect an ongoing commitment to adhering to best practices for maintaining sterile processing equipment and environment.
