  • Sterilization and Preparation :
  • Operate sterilization equipment, including autoclaves, steam sterilizers, and chemical sterilizers, following correct sterilization processes and guidelines.

  • Ensure that instruments are properly packaged and wrapped for sterilization, including the correct labeling of contents, sterilization date, and sterilization cycle parameters.
  • Perform quality control checks on sterilization equipment and maintain sterilization records to ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
  • Inventory Management :
  • Maintain an organized inventory of sterilized instruments, equipment, and supplies, ensuring items are readily available for use in operating rooms, clinics, and patient care units.

  • Monitor stock levels, identify inventory shortages, and assist with ordering new supplies or instruments as needed.
  • Ensure the proper labeling and storage of sterilized items in clean, dry, and organized conditions to avoid contamination or damage.
  • Instrument and Equipment Inspection :
  • Perform thorough inspections of instruments and equipment for functionality, damage, or wear, reporting any issues to appropriate personnel.

  • 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.
  • Team Collaboration and Communication :
  • Collaborate with healthcare professionals, including surgeons, nurses, and other sterile processing staff, to ensure timely and effective processing of surgical instruments and equipment.

  • Communicate any delays or issues with sterilization and prepare for alternate arrangements if necessary.
  • Provide feedback on equipment performance, sterilization issues, or safety concerns to leadership or relevant departments.
  • Continuous Education and Training :
  • Stay updated on the latest sterilization techniques, infection control standards, and industry best practices.

  • Participate in continuing education, certification programs, and training related to sterilization, infection prevention, and equipment management.
