Project Overview:
The project involved the procurement, installation, and commissioning of a Getinge Trans Single Door Autoclave at Riverside Private Hospital. This advanced sterilization equipment enhances the hospital’s infection control processes by providing efficient and high-capacity sterilization for medical instruments and surgical tools. The autoclave plays a crucial role in ensuring patient safety, compliance with healthcare sterilization standards, and the overall improvement of hospital hygiene protocols.
Scope of Work:
Assessment & Site Preparation
- Evaluated hospital sterilization needs and space requirements.
- Identified optimal placement within the Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD).
- Prepared utilities, including electrical and plumbing connections, to support the autoclave.
Procurement & Installation
- Delivered and installed the Getinge Trans Single Door Autoclave.
- Integrated the autoclave into the hospital’s sterile processing workflow.
- Connected the system to steam, water, and drainage to ensure smooth operation.
Testing & Commissioning
- Conducted functional testing to ensure proper sterilization cycles.
- Verified compliance with infection control standards and hospital safety regulations.
- Trained hospital staff on operation, maintenance, and safety procedures.
Project Objectives:
- Improve sterilization efficiency to meet increasing hospital demands.
- Ensure compliance with global healthcare sterilization standards (ISO, CDC, WHO).
- Reduce risks of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) by maintaining a sterile environment.
- Enhance equipment longevity by implementing an automated and reliable sterilization process.
Project Outcomes:
Upon completion, the Getinge Trans Single Door Autoclave is fully operational, allowing Riverside Private Hospital to:
- Achieve faster, more efficient sterilization cycles.
- Enhance patient safety by maintaining a sterile surgical environment.
- Support high-volume medical instrument processing with minimal downtime.
- Ensure compliance with hospital sterilization protocols.
This project represents a major advancement in infection control for Riverside Private Hospital, reinforcing its commitment to high-quality patient care and safety.
