What is the maximum weight of wrapped basin sets for safe handling?

The maximum weight of wrapped basin sets for safe handling is 7 lbs. This weight limit is established to ensure that staff can handle the sets safely without risking injury or strain. A weight limit of 7 lbs helps maintain ergonomic safety for personnel, as lifting heavier items can lead to muscle fatigue or injuries, particularly in a fast-paced environment like a sterile processing department.

Adhering to this weight limit allows for efficient handling and transportation of basin sets while ensuring that the items remain within the safe handling parameters defined by various safety guidelines. The choice of 7 lbs reflects a balance between practicality for the staff and ensuring that the integrity of the sterile packages is maintained during transport.
