Sterile Processing Technician
What are the duties and responsibilities of a Sterile Processing Technician on a day-to-day basis?
The Operating Room is the heart of the hospital BUT the Sterile Processing Department is the heartbeat.
SPD Technicians decontaminate, high level disinfect, assemble, prepare, and sterilize surgical instrumentation for the Operating Room, Labor and Delivery, the Emergency Room, Nursing care areas, and all other ancillary departments in a hospital.
They utilize established infection control guidelines and appropriate methodology and techniques to carry out their duties.
They operate washer/disinfectors, cart washers, ultrasonic equipment, automatic endoscope reprocessors, high temperature and low temperature sterilizers in the Sterile Processing Department.
They dispense and deliver sterilized instruments and instrument sets to the customer units and areas.
They audit supplies and inventory levels and notify the manager and / or supervisor, or lead tech, when levels are low.
They assist in processing orders for supplies maintained from the storeroom.
