Cssd
Is an integrated place in hospitals and other health care facilities that performs sterilization and other actions on medical devices, equipment and consumables
The operations of a sterile services department usually consist of the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization
of reusable medical equipment. Reusable medical equipment, or RME, can
consist of any medical equipment from stainless steel surgical
instrumentation, to IV pumps and crash carts. RME is separated into
three classes: non-critical, semi-critical, and critical, with each
class requiring a minimum level of reprocessing.
