The Central Sterilization Department (CSSD)

Design of central sterilization departments

The sterilization department is an integral part of any treatment and preventive medical institution. They are necessary for sterilization of various things and tools used in similar organizations. These include laundered linens, various surgical instruments, bandages stored in the warehouse, syringes and much more. Such departments are a whole complex of premises. That is why the design of central sterilization departments is complex and requires a professional approach.

Design features of sterilization departments

Sterilization departments are complex and are a closed technological cycle that ensures the sterilization process. The design of the structure of such departments is determined by the orientation, powerful characteristics of the medical institution, as well as the volume of tools and materials processed.

When organizing a sterilization department, the most important criterion is the preservation of sterility, so the main task of the designer is to create an optimal environment for processing with an increased level of protection for sterile zones against the spread of infections and the ingress of pathogenic microorganisms.

At the same time, it is also important to ensure the separation of sterile zones from all other ways of organizing passes. Among the main functional areas of sterilization departments, the following are distinguished:

• Dirty areas. Instruments/materials that need sterilization are received in these premises. Here the tools are disassembled, washed and dried.
• Clean areas. These are premises that control the prepared material. After a successful inspection, the tools/materials are packed for further transfer to the next department.
• Sterile areas. Direct sterilization processing is carried out in these premises. Metal and glass instruments are processed in air sterilizers, and the processing of bed linen, transfusion systems, catheters, dressings and other materials is carried out using steam. After the procedures, tools and materials are sorted, assembled and sent to a special warehouse for storage.

Certain equipment is used for each department of sterilization departments, which is important to consider in the design process. Special attention is paid to transport routes that should not cross to avoid microbial contamination. Among other important aspects, special requirements for planning solutions, equipment connection rules, personnel movement and regulatory documents should also be taken into account.

Where to order the project of the central sterilization department

The design of sterilization rooms should be carried out not only taking into account all the features of such departments, but also taking into account the norms of domestic legislation and international standards. Only experienced specialists can cope with the creation of a competent project of the central sterilization department.

The “Technology Project Group” company is an expert in the field of designing medical institutions. We have been working in this direction for over 10 years.
