STEREQUIP REPROCESSING SUPER CENTRES
Sterequip’s system design is based on the barrier principle, ensuring a clear separation of soiled, clean and sterile zones.
Each zone is separated by a pass-through. The clean system is protected with airlocks that ensure restricted access and positive air pressure.
ARRIVAL
1. Trolleys are delivered into the receival dock via an airlock to stop any airborne contamination.
2. Trolleys then move into the Soil Hold then into Decontamination. The decontamination area has an airlock to ensure the material does not leave the area.
WASH
3. Trays are removed from the trolleys and the trolleys go through to the trolley washers and a thermal disinfection cycle of 90 degrees Celsius for 2 minutes.
4. Trays are placed onto washing crates and then passed into one of the 8 washers.
INSPECT
5. Once washed trays move through to the unloading area. Again, the unloading area has an airlock entrance.
6. Trays are then inspected and prepared for sterilisation, either low-temperature sterilisation for heat sensitive items or steam sterilisation. All instruments are returned to the same trays unless repair, maintenance or replacement is needed.
STERILISE & STORE
7. Sterilisation occurs and trays are unloaded and moved on to the Sterile Store or sent through to dispatch for return to the customer.
8. The Sterile Store is fitted with an Automated Storage & Retrieval System.
DISPATCH
9. When required items are retrieved and moved into the Loading and Dispatch area where a technician loads and scans the RMDs into the disinfected trolleys.
10. Trolleys are moved into the Trolley dispatch where they wait until the returning truck is ready for loading. Each day trucks are washed down and UV disinfected. All trucks are temperature-controlled and fitted with humidity sensors.
