Scope of Work Sterile Processing professionals are responsible for cleaning, decontaminating, sterilizing, and distributing medical and surgical instrumentation. They are among the most vital contributors to the delivery of safe, high-quality patient care. Work performed in the Sterile Processing department usually follows a processing cycle: Decontam → Inspect → Assembly → Package → Sterilize → Inspect → Store → Inspect → Dispense. After use, items that can be reprocessed are returned to the decontamination area to start the process again. At each step, items are inspected to ensure they are clean, in good repair, assembled, and processed correctly. Sterile Processing Techs also handle record keeping and tracking across many functions of their jobs. They must provide properly processed products when they are needed. The patient must be the center of every quality concern.
