The contaminants, she said, continued to appear during her overnight shift Monday to Tuesday.In a written statement, Kaiser rejected employees’ calls for a surgical shutdown at Zion. “We are currently cleaning and flushing the lines of this equipment to remove all residual particulates,” Kaiser said. “In the meantime, surgical instruments used at Zion Medical Center are being safely cleaned and processed at our nearby San Diego Medical Center and an outside agency.”
