Summary
Certified sterile processing technician with 8 years in a 1,200-bed tertiary hospital CSSD. I run a 14-person shift that decontaminates, inspects, packs and sterilises 3,500 instrument sets a month for 32 operating theatres, endoscopy and the wards. I am strong on ISO 17665 validation, Bowie-Dick and biological indicator testing, tracking-system data and keeping theatres supplied without delays to the first case.
Experience
- Lead 14 technicians across washer-disinfectors, 6 steam and 2 low-temperature sterilisers; release every load against physical, chemical and biological indicators
- Rebuilt 180 orthopaedic and cardiac tray lists with surgeons; set errors fell from 1.4% to 0.2% and first-case delays caused by CSSD reached zero
- Owned the tracking-system rollout (barcode per instrument set); now produce the monthly turnaround and loaner-tray KPI report
- Decontaminated and packed general, ENT and laparoscopic sets; reprocessed flexible endoscopes to manufacturer IFUs
- Trained 9 new hires on PPE, workflow zoning and instrument inspection under magnification
