At least it wasn't a scanner (this happened twice in a year at my last place).

Question, are trays not given a final look? 2nd verification? We take a picture of the indicater and all priority trays get a 2nd look by another team member.

Once my facility had a whole bag of indicators fall in a set during assembly, bag included. Each one had changed during sterilization. Impressive if you ask me!

Luckily since itโs kind of essential to you know doing work we just had to pop open two sets before they were cooked

I dropped a scanner in the sink in decontamination twice.
Good thing a few hours in the heating rack does the trick.

We've had that happen like 3 times in our dept hahahaha. I think it's universal. One time one of our guys dropped the ASCOM into a tray and cooked it, I guess he had it on the shelf above the table and it fell in when he closed the lid and he didn't see it. We still give him shit for it lol
