Description du poste
Receives contaminated critical and semi-critical RME in the decontamination area and may receive noncritical equipment in the decontamination area as well. Disassembles the RME and determines the correct cleaning method, such as but not limited to ultrasonic cleaners, mechanical washers, cart washers and chemical cleaning/decontamination agents, as determined by manufacturer instructions. Inspects, assembles, and determines the correct method and packaging for sterilization such as steam.
PRINCIPALES MISSIONS :
Basic Functions Depending on the grade selected you may be expected to do the following tasks: Utilizes the Instrument Tracking Program, SOPs, Competencies, and MIFUs for all phases of reprocessing RMD, including Decontamination, Disinfection, Preparation and Packaging, and Sterilization. May run shift-to-shift huddles. Uses the Instrument Tracking System (Censitrac) to collect, receive, sort, clean, assemble, package, sterilize, and deliver Critical, Semi-Critical, and Non-Critical RMD. Utilizes advanced functions of instrument tracking system to manage RMD throughout SPS and the facility. Wears appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Completes set-up of all areas including restocking (FIFO), validations, tests. Validate and test equipment on a daily and/or weekly schedule, documenting in Censitrac. Monitors operation of all equipment, using biological, chemical, and mechanical indicators. Reports any discrepancies to the Supervisor or Lead. Water quality testing performed and documented daily. Scan into the Decontamination area, and at each processing point (i.e., sink, ultrasonic, washer/disinfector, scope reprocessing, and other processing equipment as necessary). Disassembles RMD for both manual and mechanical cleaning, using approved chemicals, equipment, .0and techniques to successfully render items safe for further processing. Performs all required RMD inspection and testing to ensure functionality and safety of RMD (conductivity testing, sharpness, articulation of hinged instruments, use of the borescope to check lumens and cannulas). Obtains missing items for trays, or appropriately labels trays for missing or damaged items. Provides accurate count sheets, including documentation of additional pertinent information. Provides accurate labels for all items being prepared. Performs quality checks and/or 2nd checks on containerized RMD, peel packed RMD, and disinfected RMD. Documents as required. Accurately assembles, wraps, peel pouches, containerizes, dates, initials, and labels all peel packs and trays using appropriate materials and techniques needed per SOP. Accurately sorts RMD for appropriate sterilizer and cycle. Able to access resources for assistance. Loads and unloads sterilizers and scope disinfectors safely and appropriately. Ensures all low, intermediate, and high level disinfected RMD is inspected, properly packaged, and labeled for end user, and all required QA monitoring and documentation is completed. Assigns, maintains, identifies, and tracks load control numbers with the contents registered for each load. Able to use Censitrac to review load contents, as applicable. Initiates recall of RMD in the event of a process failure. Able to safely operate all equipment used in preparation, packaging, and sterilization, including all sterilizers, disinfectors, incubators, workstations, magnification light, scales, insulator tester, borescopes, demagnetizers, sealers, computers, scanners, printers, QA inspection tools, etc, per SOPs, Competencies, and MIFUs. Visually inspects RMD prior to release, ensuring package integrity (no holes, staining, broken locks, etc), and correct labeling for correct delivery. Documents inspections as required. Demonstrates appropriate technique for retrieval and delivery of contaminated RMD from end user. Follows the established pick-up schedule at a minimum. Completes end-of-shift duties including restocking (FIFO), organizing per department standards, disinfectin
