WFHSS Mission Statement

The WFHSS dedicates itself to the promotion of the worldwide harmonization of sterilization departments and of decontamination practices especially by providing:

  • a meeting place for national and regional non-profit sterilization societies, thus stimulating cooperation and the exchange of information and best practices;
  • information via its website to all our stakeholders and interested parties.

In this way we make a contribution not only to ensure that the quality of reprocessing is of the highest possible level across the globe but also to make the basic right of every patient to be treated with a medical device of a good quality come true. Integrity and objectivity, openness and transparency, cooperation and support are the core values in our organization.

Wim Renders

ASHCSP/IAHCSMM Position Paper on Loaner Instrumentation
The project to update the Position Paper on the Management of Loaner Instrumentation and Implants has been completed.

IAHCSMM is pleased to be able to make this document available on our website (click the link to your right). We hope it will be a resource you will turn to often in handling the many problems inherent in the use of loaner instrumentation and implants.
