Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD)
The Sterile Processing Department (SPD) is an integrated activity of the utmost importance in healthcare facilities, playing a vital role in infection control and safeguarding patient health [1].
What is the CSSD?
The purpose of the CSSD is infection control and safeguarding the health of patients undergoing diagnostic investigations or surgery and therapy. The Central Service is essential in:
- The supply of sterile products (RMDs) needed in all healthcare activities.
- The application of strategies for increasing patient safety and preventing HAIs.
- The comprehensive tracking of the sterile process for complete traceability [1].
