Installation of Getinge Trans Single Door Autoclave at Riverside Private Hospital

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
