| central sterile technician training: ANSI/AAMI St79: Comprehensive Guide to Steam Sterilization and Sterility Assurance in Health Care Facilities Aami, 2013-10-01 The AAMI recommended practice, Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in health care facilities, is a breakthrough standard in terms of its scope. AAMI has updated ST79 with the release of ST79:2010/A4:2013. Of particular importance, A4:2013 provides four new figures demonstrating the wrapping of items for steam sterilization and adds an annex focused on Moisture assessment. As of Oct. 25, 2013, purchasers of ST79 will receive ANSI/AAMI ST79:2010 and A1:2010 and A2:2011 and A3:2012 and A4:2014 as a single consolidated document. Among other changes from the 2006 edition of ST79, this revised and expanded second edition of ST79 includes guidance on the use and application of Class 6 emulating indicators, a chemical monitoring device fairly new to the United States. Because ST79 essentially consolidates five AAMI steam sterilization standards (whose content was reviewed and updated to reflect current good practice prior to being incorporated into ST79), it truly is a comprehensive guideline for all steam sterilization activities in healthcare facilities, regardless of the size of the sterilizer or the size of the facility, and provides a resource for all healthcare personnel who use steam for sterilization. |

| central sterile technician training: Hospital Sterilization Nagaraja Prem Anand, 2011 Hospital infection is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality following any procedure on the human body in the hospital. Infection arises primarily because of lack of knowledge by the hospital staff about sterilization. Today, majority of super-specialty hospitals import very expensive sterilizing equipment. However, very little effort is made to train the people who run these machines. We must understand that the machine is as clever or as dumb as the person behind it. Unfortunately, in spite of so many advances in health care and so many advances in medical education, many countries do not have a single recognized training program to train sterilization technicians. This is our effort in that direction to come up with a formal training program to train technicians in this vital area of health care delivery system. This book shall benefit technologists and Central Sterile Supplies Department (CSSD) staff as well as medical students and hospital administrators to understand the intricacies and workings of a successful CSSD unit and contribute to hospital infection control in a large way. |
