## Resource

How reliable is the tray you open every day? In today's episode, we step into inspection and assembly where cleaned instruments are tested, examined, and built into the trays your OR depends on. This conversation with Kevin Anderson highlights why tray assembly is about far more than checking off a count sheet. From instrument function testing and damaged equipment to borescopes, insulation testing, and missing items, this episode reveals the science behind building a dependable tray. Listen now and gain a new appreciation for the work that happens before the tray reaches your back table. #operatingroom #nurse #scrubtech #sterileprocessing
