MEDICAL
The CSSD is the most important department in any healthcare service. The reason for this is the entire instrument reprocessing-process starts there. NCA understands the CSSD is often overlooked as the most critical and essential department.
In the case of a nosocomial patient infection, the event trickles down from the legal or hospital PR. to the surgeon, to the nursing unit manager, to the CSSD manager and eventually back to the nurse or technician who processed he instruments prior to being used on the nosocomial patient in question.
The onus is then placed onto the hospital or the CSSD to provide evidence as to the instruments used on the patient, ensuring they have reached what is known as "Sterility Assurance Levels (SAL).
If the facility fails to provide evidence of SAL then a case can be made against the hospital for the patient infection.
NCA have taken infection control to another level, by using the latest science and technology to provide the tools for the CSSD to to ensure that every load of instruments run have reached SAL.
We also have the monitoring tools to provide the best challenge for the sterilizers to provide 100% assurance of effective functioning of the chamber.
NCA will assist with tightening policies throughout the CSSD and other IC areas of the hospital, ensuring consistent alignment with the International Scientific Standards that dictate ASNZ 4187:2014 (a:ASNZ 5369:2021) and overrule ALL national guidelines.
We will also properly train your staff on monitoring and applying the standards into practice, ensuring the highest level of service is carried out in your facility.
Your facility will also pass all accreditation factors relating to IC and monitoring within the CSSD and associated departments.
We are the leaders!
