Absolutely.
Loaner trays ,Consignment, or house trays are NOT acceptable in these conditions. STOP the line, SPD. No excuses. YOU are the expert. What will you say when you testify in court when the hospital WILL get sued, let alone lose accreditation? I hear a lot of SPD "professionals" say "oh those aren't our sets" or " we have told them". NO! STOP SURGERY ✋️ if you must! Vendor companies. DONT WHINE IF WE STOP THE LINE. You must assist us in removing or replacing these sets. Video post to follow soon.
