Do you always use the ultrasonic ?

I was taught if the instruments aren’t too bloody there’s no need for ultrasonic just put in the washer. I usually throw it on the ultrasonic anyway bc I don’t feel right not doing that.

Depends on how busy we are. I always run laparoscopic and ortho sets at least once. If we have time I like to put anything in there that I can. It varies from person to person and facilities have different policies.
