CE test for Intro to the SPD

It is acceptable to store sterile wrapped sets and containers close to the floor without solid bottoms on the shelves due to them being protected.

Drying cabinets have filters to be changed and should have a schedule for cleaning.

Trays containing instruments may be placed in the washer with the lids on.

Point-of-use care begins in the sterile processing department.

All items can go into the ultrasonic machine.

Sterile processing personnel should test equipment such as washers and ultrasonics daily to ensure they are functioning properly.

Instructions for use (IFUs) are only needed for chemistries and not for sterilization processes.

Calibration on chemistry pumps should be performed daily/weekly/monthly.

The preference is to have disposable brushes for cleaning.

There should not be uni-directional flow in the SPD’s decontamination space.
