CSSD Department

The fundamental role of the CSSD is to receive, clean, decontaminated, packaged, and sterilised medical devices that can be distributed. These devices are reprocessed in reprocessing equipment, such as washer-disinfectors and sterilisers that are routinely maintained and validated in order to prevent cross-contamination and infection in patients.

This is achieved by well-trained and knowledgeable staff working in the CSSD under the supervision of experienced and trained managers who understand and implement strategies of risk management and quality assurance.
