Good morning
Does anyone have a plan of a small AS/NZS 4187 compliant CSD they would be willing to share? We are looking at redevelopment options for our rural facilities where we have only 1 or 2 operating rooms attached to the CSD.
In these sites there needs to be facilities for both endoscopy and reprocessing of surgical and oral health reusable medical devices.
Currently in these sites, the operating rooms, open directly onto the decontamination side of the CSD. Then there is the pack & sterilise room / partition. I have attached a footprint of one of our sites (see attached PDF) ….as you can see there is not a great deal of space to play with!
I am not sure if this is good practice. Should they be sperate units, or can they be combined? I am interested to know what your thoughts are.
And if possible a rough floor plan (it doesn’t need to be to scale) showing use of the space and segregation.Kind regards,
Mandy Davidson

These are the Australasian Health Facility Guidelines which clearly defines what is required as part of the structure. (attached)
The most critical components are a stand-alone HEPA sterile store and segregation of “dirty” tasks from “clean” tasks.
Even in small day surgery facilities there is now an expectation that pass though equipment cleaning equipment will be in use.
One of the facilities we have licensed in SA has a pass through endoscope washer on one side of a room and a pass through washer disinfector for other surgical instruments on the other side of the room. So essentially you need at least 2 rooms for reprocessing. Although it is ideal to have pass through sterilisers emptying in to a sterile store to minimise transport many facilities still have their steriliser in their packaging area.
It also depends on the type of surgery you perform in addition to the need for bulky loan sets. If you do use loan sets there needs to be a reception are to bring them in to the cleaning area for reprocessing and that is another issue.
If you share your main type of surgery it could be determined if you need a separate 2 room reprocessing cleaning area for instruments and a separate 2 room reprocessing area for endoscopes as another facility has accomplished but built from new so it is easier.
