Sterile Processing Technician
The major tasks of a Sterile Processing Technician are to process and sterilize equipment and supplies from the operating suites and nursing units of the hospital. These medical professionals are specially trained in the proper care, cleaning, decontamination, and sterilization of all surgical instrumentation.
Technicians take equipment inventory, maintain accurate sterilization records, report repairs, and monitor records. They follow strict aseptic protocols to ensure that they maintain a clean and safe environment. Sterile Processing Technicians play an essential role in patient safety and infection control.
Following successful completion of the class, the student will be eligible to take the CSPDT national exam through the NCCA.
