IntraSpace® | Making Your Hospital AS/NZS 4187:2014 Compliant

Effective sterilization and storage of reusable medical devices is a critical aspect of infection prevention within a healthcare facility. The updated AS4187:2014 Standard outlines the requirements for Sterile Storage within these facilities, and the requirements are significant.

STORAGE OF CHEMICALS & ORGANISATION OF WORKFLOW
The protocols outlined in AS4187 guide you to correct compartmentalisation and storage of CSSD chemicals.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) should be present, understood and enforced by all staff.

▶ Chemical knowledge is key - the SDS should dictate the protocols to be followed
▶ Every chemical has its own storage criteria - DO NOT 'settle' for alternatives
▶ The storage facilities and equipment should be designed and purchased around the CSSD requirements
