  • Identify and segregate any instruments or tools that are no longer functional and need repair or replacement.
  • Maintain a system for tracking equipment usage and ensure proper handling throughout the sterilization process.
  • Record Keeping and Compliance :
  • Document the cleaning, sterilization, and maintenance processes for each batch of equipment, ensuring accuracy in records and compliance with hospital policies and industry standards.

  • Ensure compliance with Joint Commission , OSHA , CDC , and other regulatory bodies' guidelines for infection control, sterilization, and equipment management.
  • Participate in regular audits and inspections to ensure proper adherence to protocols and assist with corrective actions as needed.
  • Safety and Infection Control :
  • Follow infection control protocols to prevent cross-contamination, including the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), gloves, masks, and gowns.

  • Maintain a sterile work environment by ensuring that all equipment and areas involved in the sterilization process are clean and free from contamination.
  • Monitor for any safety hazards within the sterile processing area and report issues such as faulty equipment, safety violations, or potential biohazards.
