Ultrasonic Cleaning: Getting It Right

In mid-2023, leading up to and then following the release in December 2023 of the new Australian Standard 5369 on reprocessing reusable medical devices, I had been working on updating the ADA’s Infection Prevention and Control Guidelines for what would become their May 2024 fifth edition.
