What Terminal Cleaning Means for ASCs
Terminal cleaning is the complete, top-to-bottom decontamination of an operating room at the end of the surgical day. It's not just mopping — it's ceiling vents, surgical lights, boom arms, anesthesia equipment, walls, and floors, in that order. XIRI follows AORN perioperative guidelines to the letter.
Our OR Protocol
High-to-low, clean-to-dirty. We start with ceiling-mounted equipment and work down to the floor. Every surface is wiped with EPA-registered, sporicidal disinfectants. Waste is segregated by category. Logs are timestamped and photographed.
Independent Verification
The crew that cleans is never the crew that audits. XIRI Night Managers perform independent verification of every terminal clean using a standardized checklist. You get photographic proof before the first case the next morning.
