7 Introduction What are some of the differences between a hospital and a hotel? They both want a nice entrance, friendly and calming environments, and return visits. They also have individual guest rooms with attached bathrooms. Hospitals typically do not have pools, but many have whirlpools for expectant mothers in the LDRP. The biggest difference is the role that sterile processing plays in the health of patients, employees, and the building. Without it, surgeries would be much more dangerous, with lasting debilitating results and effects. The Sterile Processing Department
8 What is the Value of the SPD in the Facility? The SPD plays an integral role within a healthcare facility by providing sterile surgical instrumentation to the OR as well as all other areas that require sterile goods. The infection control practices within the department prevent the onset and spread of infectious diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis A & B, TB, etc. The SPD is the department within a healthcare facility that processes and controls medical supplies, devices, and equipment, sterile and nonsterile, for patient care areas of the facility. (Per AAMI, Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) The Sterile Processing Department
9 Workflow of the Sterile Processing Department The shown 3-D diagram on the following slide is a representation of a sterile processing department. This example is a new trend in the U.S. market that has become a standard in Europe. They divide each of the cleaning stages into separate zones. Typically in the United States we see the packing department in the same area as the sterilization room. A fourth area that in shown in this diagram is the sterile storage and staging area. Here materials and instruments are pulled, packed, and organized onto carts for specific scheduled operations. The Sterile Processing Department
10 Workflow of the Sterile Processing Department Sterile Storage Sterilization Prep and Pack Soiled Return Decontamination The Sterile Processing Department
11 Workflow of the Sterile Processing Department Note the separating walls for each of the above areas. During the course of this presentation: A red floor will designate the decontamination/dirty area. Blue will represent the prep/pack area and green will be for sterilization and sterile storage. In some of the larger hospitals in the U.S. a 3 zone department is being established because of its uni-directional flow, cutting down on the possibility of crosscontamination. We are going to step through the SPD starting in the Disinfection area. The Sterile Processing Department
12 What is the Decontamination Process? So what is decontamination? Here is the definition as provided by OSHA: The use of physical or chemical means to remove, inactivate or destroy blood borne pathogens on a surface or item to the point where they are no longer capable of transmitting infectious particles and the surface or item is safe for handling, use or disposal. (OSHA CFR ) The Sterile Processing Department
13 What is the Decontamination Process? In the surgical environment hospitals must be very cognizant of all types of contamination. This does not only include dust, lint, paint chips, metal shavings, hair, but also microscopic soils that are invisible to the eye that can and will cause infection in the surgical incision. Therefore, what types of soils on surgical instrumentation are we removing? First are the organics, mainly comprised of blood, tissue, fats, feces, grease, and proteins. Second are the inorganics such as water deposits lime, rust and types of scale. Each of these can cause and infection in a surgical wound leading to more serious complications. The Sterile Processing Department
14 Decontamination Cleaning & Drying Automated Cleaning Manual Cleaning The washer disinfector renders its load (i.e. washed goods, surgical instruments, etc.) safe to handle Disinfection and cleaning of noncritical goods prevents hospital acquired infections Staff safety-cleaning process takes place in a closed chamber which means no risk for splashes and thereby contamination Correct drying after cleaning can easily be arranged and integrated into the process No automated disinfection of instruments and utensils, increases the risk of contaminations and infections. Contamination risk for staff due to exposure to soil and liquids. Wet goods may cause re-contamination The Sterile Processing Department
15 What is Prep & Pack? Today most sterilizers can be found in the prep/pack room, but as mentioned before, this trend is changing. You can think of this area as being the clean room. During a typical site visit, you as the visitor would gown-up and enter the prep/pack area first. Why would this be? The Sterile Processing Department
16 What is Prep & Pack? The main reason is to eliminate the possibility of cross contamination. If you were to enter via the dirty decontamination door then into the prep/pack the hospital runs the risk of you carrying a potential bug with you that could invade, attach, or contaminate a disinfected or sterilized instrument. The professionals in prep and pack must pay close attention to details. Each instrument must be visually examined for quality. They must check surfaces for remaining soils, determine if the instrument is functioning properly does it need sharpening? is it bent? is it worn and needs to be replaced? insure that instrument sets and trays are assembled, wrapped and placed into the sterilizers correctly, catalogue and pull instruments, track and trace instruments and sets, and verify the sterilizers performed their cycles correctly each and every time. The Sterile Processing Department
17 What is Sterilization? Let s ask these questions of ourselves: 1. If I have a splinter in my finger that needs to be removed and I light a match and hold a needle in its flame for 10 seconds, is the needle sterilized? No, the needle would contain trace amounts of soot. 2. If I had a paring knife and used it to cut a cucumber, would the knife be sterilized if I dipped it in rubbing alcohol for 30 second? No, there would be bio-burden on the blade. It must be clean to be sterilized 3. If I am standing in line at the local buffet and I pick up a clean hot plate from the plate cart, is the plate sterilized? No, and it may not be completely disinfected if you find food particles on it like melted cheese. The Sterile Processing Department
18 What is Sterilization? So what is sterilization Sterilization is the process used to render a product free from all forms of viable micro-organisms (bacteria, spores, fungi, and viruses) Sterilization is required because not all micro-organisms have been completely destroyed during the decontamination process. Within the SPD, the sterilization area is where sterilizers (steam, and/or low temperature processes), are located including the space for loading, unloading, and cooling. This can be accommodated by a two or three zone system. The Sterile Processing Department
19 What is Sterile Storage? Sterile storage is the OR instrumentation and equipment warehouse typically for the entire hospital. If a product is disinfected and/or sterilized it will have a home in this department or in another sterile storage location. Like a warehouse, orders are packed and sent to other locations for use on specific patients undergoing specific procedures. The Sterile Processing Department

21 On the Following Slide You will see a layout of the full SPD area for a large facility Shown at a glance is a typical plan for a 200 bed hospital. Note the dirty and clean elevator locations. Notice the three zone layout: red, blue and green zones. We are going to take a closer look at each of these areas, describing the equipment that is found, how and why it is used, and the department workflow. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Decontamination
22 Good Work Flow for Decontamination Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Decontamination
23 On the Following Slide There is a quick diagram of a typical decontamination department with equipment in place Notice the work flow path including the cart washers, the 3 bay wash sinks, ultrasonic washer, auto load tables for the air glide system, environmental/janitor closet, detergent storage room, and manual equipment wash room. Note: The blue Clean Disinfected area to the right of the image Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Decontamination
24 Good Work Flow for Decontamination 4 Bay Washer/Disinfector Cart Washer Soiled Goods Elevator Utility Table 3-Bay Sink Sonic Washer Return Conveyor Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Decontamination
25 Why Do We Have a Stainless Steel Sink Module? Sink modules are used for manual soaking, hand washing, and rinsing of instrumentation. The sink may include a main and treated water faucet, a spray rinser, air gun, and tubular manifold. Material comes to the SPD decontamination room via a Dirty Elevator or doorway. First area for processing is the SSS. Usually there are three sinks. The first sink is filled with water and an enzymatic cleaner. Here the surgical items are allowed to soak. The second sink is used for washing and scrubbing of the surgical devices and instruments. Close attention is paid to joints, cracks, crevices, lumens, and dimpled surfaces. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Decontamination
26 What is the Purpose of an Ultrasonic Cleaner? The next basin is the rinse sink Ultrasonic For instruments that are heavily covered in bio burden or have hard to clean surfaces an ultrasonic cleaner is used. This machine creates vibration or cavitation waves that shear soils from instruments. An example of a hard to clean instrument would be a reamer, due to its sharp fluted surfaces. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Decontamination
27 What is the Purpose of an Ultrasonic Cleaner? Ultrasonic is a type of specialized unit that is used to remove debris from difficult to reach areas of surgical instruments such as box locks, and serrations. Instruments are submersed in a liquid detergent bath. The passage of Ultrasonic waves cause cavitations (vibration). The vibrations create mechanical energy which removes debris from the surfaces. The detergent traps the loose debris from settling on the instruments. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Decontamination
28 What Does a Washer-Disinfector Accomplish? The washer-disinfectors effectively cleans, thermally disinfects, and dries moisture from temperature stable utensils, surgical instruments, anesthesia materials and glassware prior to any necessary sterilization. What do we mean when we say thermal disinfection? What is the boiling point of water? We know that water boils at 212 degrees F at sea level. We also know that when we say boil it also means water is turning into steam. At these extreme temperatures most organic organism will meet their demise. So when we say thermal disinfection we are speaking about the temperature and exposure time these organisms have in the water. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Decontamination
29 What Does a Washer-Disinfector Accomplish? What about drying? What does bone dry mean in the SPD environment? Death Valley is a very hot place. Almost all forms of life would have an extremely hard time surviving there for any long duration of time. Just as an oak tree transplanted from North Carolina to the desert would not survive, the same can be said of a micro organism in a high temperature dryer. Heat and high temperatures kill them off. One way to determine the effectiveness of a washer disinfector is to submit it to a TOSI (Test Object Surgical Instrument) test. A description of the test sample is described below. A test soil is engineered to have the same attributes as human blood. Blood has many properties that make it adhere to surfaces. This makes it a good test media for determining the washers effectiveness. cont Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Decontamination
30 What Does a Washer-Disinfector Accomplish? The test soil is placed under a small window cover on a slotted or grooved metal plate that represents the multiple surfaces of a surgical instrument. The plate is then placed at an angle that makes it difficult for the washer to clean. Once complete, the operator looks through a window on the plate to determine the amount of soil removed. The bottom line is we must wash and disinfect all instrumentation effectively. If we do not, any excess bio burden remaining will be cooked onto those items in the sterilizer. The washer-disinfector is the piece of equipment that destroys infectious micro-organisms (HIV, TB, Hepatitis, etc.) Facilities are required periodically to verify the effectiveness of the washer-disinfector. The TOSI test is one way to accomplish this. Best practices allow for utilization of high volume and low pressure to effectively pass TOSI tests.

31 On the Following Slide Shown is a typical plan for a 200 bed hospital. Note the dirty and clean elevator locations. Also notice the three zone layout: the red, blue and green zones. We are going to take a closer look at the Prep, Pack, and Sterilization areas, describing the equipment that is found, how and why it is used, and the department workflow.

34 What is the Use and What Would I Find on a Prep and Pack Table? Used for the sorting, inspection, and packaging of decontaminated goods prior to sterilization. Task lights, monitors, instrument tracking system, sterile wrap, heat shrink units, etc. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Prep, Pack and Sterilization
35 What is a Pass Through Window Used For? A pass through window is used to move clean items into prep and pack area and items that need to be reprocessed back to decontaminated area. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Prep, Pack and Sterilization
36 What Does a Sterilizer Achieve? Sterilization is the process used to destroy all remaining microbial life. The sterilizing agent can be steam, plasma, ozone, EO Gas, or other low temperature solutions. Steam is the most widely used and cost effective solution, and typical applications include wrapped and unwrapped, porous and non-porous hard goods, towel packs, and liquids. Low temperature sterilizers are used with temperature sensitive goods. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Prep, Pack and Sterilization
37 What Does a Sterilizer Achieve? Sterilizers kill the remaining microbial life left on surgical instruments. How do we know if the sterilizer is working properly? Sterilizers are tested using a Bowie-Dick test. A Bowie-Dick tests for air leaks, inadequate air removal and steam penetration for vacuum-assisted steam sterilizers. How do we know if the sterilizer is killing microbial life? Biological indicators monitor the effectiveness of the steam sterilization process. How do we know if a pack has been sterilized? Chemical indicator tape gives the sterilizer operator assurance that each pack or item has been exposed to the sterilization process. Hatch marks on the tape turn black when exposed at the correct temperature and time in a sterilizer. Once an item has been sterilized it is considered 100% free of organics and inorganics. Remember, it must be clean first to be sterilized! An unclean item can not be sterilized. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Prep, Pack and Sterilization
38 What Should I Consider When Planning For Sterilization? Two zone or three zone (single or double door sterilizers) Capacity Appropriate floor space Loading / unloading areas Service Access Cooling Area Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Prep, Pack and Sterilization
39 What Should I Consider When Planning For Sterilization? When planning for sterilization you need to present the two and three zone options to the hospital. Depending on design the architect and equipment planner will need to specify either a single door sterilizer or a double door sterilizer. Remember - a single door sterilizer will be used in a department that is combining prep/pack and sterilization. This is the typical model found in the U.S. The European trend of a 3 room department is becoming more accepted in the U.S. This layout includes a decontamination room, a prep and pack room, then a sterilization room. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Prep, Pack and Sterilization
40 What Should I Consider When Planning For Sterilization? Secondly, what are the capacity requirements of the facility? Will they need large floor mounted units which can sterilize hundreds of instruments at one time or will they need to do only a few sets, such as in a surgery center? Most hospitals like to combine both large sterilizers and smaller units allowing the facility to run a small quick turn load if a emergency set is needed. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Prep, Pack and Sterilization
41 What Should I Consider When Planning For Sterilization? Appropriate Floor Space Sterilizers generate intense heat. Extreme caution should always be used when in their area. You will find hot pads and gloves next to the units and rods used for pulling the hot instrument trays out of the units. Due to these conditions architects and hospitals must make sure the adequate space is giving for cooling of the cart and wrapped instrument trays. A lot of heat will be dispersed into the sterilization area. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Prep, Pack and Sterilization
42 What Should I Consider When Planning For Sterilization? Sterilizers work by using steam that is forced through valves, channels, chambers, and drains. Like most mechanical and electronic devices (i.e.: cars, computers, A/C units), heat is the enemy. Manufactures must have a service access area next to the sterilizer to perform preventive maintenance activities twice a year. Most of the time, the sterilizers are not shut down long enough to cool to comfortable working conditions for engineers and workmen. The possibility of getting burned is even greater if the service area is made to small. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Prep, Pack and Sterilization
43 What Should I Consider When Planning For Sterilization? Utilities (including steam and water quality) What types of resources do I need to run a sterilizer? You must have electricity, steam, and water. What are my clearances? Do I have enough drainage? Where are my drains located? Where are my steam lines located? Is the steam the appropriate temperature? What are my lighting requirements? What direction do my doors open? Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Prep, Pack and Sterilization
44 What Are the Benefits of Automation? Improved ergonomics Improved throughput Efficient staging of loads to be processed Reduction of labor time Less handling of heavy and hot (temperature) loads Reduction of amount of loading equipment required Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Prep, Pack and Sterilization

47 What is Sterile Storage? The area of the healthcare facility designed to store clean and sterile items before their selection and distribution for use in procedures (AAMI). Includes items supplied from SPD as well as pre-packed clean/sterile items from outside vendors. You would find instrument tracking, sterile storage carts, racks, case carts, and shelving systems in this area. Many hospitals require a positive airflow from sterile storage out into other areas. This provides more assurance that the temperature and humidity stay constant within the sterile storage room. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Sterile Storage
48 What Do I Need to Know About Sterile Storage? It should be located near a dock for the receiving of materials. Consideration of elevator placement for best material flow efficiency. Proper square footage must be allocated for storage and material break-out. Sufficient space allocation for instrument tracking system. Equipment, Design Layout and Workflow for Sterile Storage
49 What Are the Benefits of Automation? When designing a sterile storage area automation is becoming an important factor. With the number of specialized instruments, containers, screws, and implants, high density storage units are becoming a common trend. Many larger facilities are investing money in both vertical density systems, as shown, and rotating carousel systems. With these units an operator would read their pick list and program the unit to bring the desired item to them, instead of walking to specific shelf location. These systems greatly improve ergonomics and decrease muscle and skeletal injuries. Larger items would still be housed on standard wire shelving.

52 What to Consider When Renovating Renovation can be a huge undertaking but also a huge opportunity. When considering a renovation much pre work or up front work needs to be conducted. Most IC companies can help with this activity. Pay close attention to structural details including piping, columns, drains, and electrical services and beware of hidden pipes and services located in walls. It is amazing the places you will find sewage lines. An exhaustive review of the following questions needs to be undertaken when planning a renovation project Department Design and Layout
53 What to Consider When Renovating What is the current baseline of department functionality and capacity? What is the current square footage, equipment location, and utility hook-ups. What is your processing capacity of existing equipment? What type of inefficiencies currently exist? What are the departmental objectives (i.e. staff reduction, quick turn, etc.) What types of cases will the facility be adding? Evaluate number of cases Evaluate types of cases Should I be planning for future expansion? Department Design and Layout
54 What to Consider in New Construction Starting with a clean sheet of paper is like holding a new born baby. There is so much potential, but where do you start? Based on experience these are initial questions that should be considered. What types of cases the facility is conducting? Define number of OR's Evaluate number of cases Evaluate types of cases Define materials to be processed What are the departmental objectives (i.e. staff reduction, quick turn, etc.)? Identify proper equipment to handle projected caseloads. Automation considerations Instrument Tracking Should I be planning for future expansion? Plan for shelled space Department Design and Layout
