RUMED Online Training Program:
The complexity of instrument reprocessing and related processes is increasing, requiring a deep understanding of correlations within various workflows. This expertise is crucial for making informed decisions and upholding the high quality standards in our daily work at RUMED. Achieving this requires a strong foundation of technical and procedural knowledge. To meet these demands, the RUMED Academy offers a comprehensive online training program consisting of two levels: 'Reprocessing Technician RUMED (Level 1)' and 'Senior Processing Technician RUMED (Level 2)'.
The modules are conducted in English, available also in Spanish in Latin America, and delivered by experienced international experts with extensive knowledge and practical experience in the field of application in the operating room (OR) and instrument reprocessing. The content of the modules is based on the comprehensive DGSV and HSPA courses, ensuring a well-rounded and relevant training experience.
Reprocessing Technician RUMED (Level I):
The Level I program consists of 14 individual modules (see below “Module Overview”). The target group is RUMED managers, RUMED technicians and other employees in RUMED with proficient English/Spanish language skills and practical experience in a reprocessing structure for medical devices.
Module 3.0: Cleaning and Disinfection I:
This module deals with the basics of decontamination of reusable medical devices taking into account the Spaulding classification. The module provides an overview of important factors in the process of cleaning and disinfecting reusable medical devices within the framework of the instrument cycle (Sinner's circle). In addition to terms, definitions and methods of cleaning and disinfection, an insight into process chemicals, their important active ingredients, their mode of action and application examples are described. The differences between manual and mechanical cleaning and disinfection are highlighted with a short excursus on the use of ultrasound. The module covers the importance of water quality for the reprocessing of medical devices and shows ways of water treatment.
Certification:
Upon successful completion of this module, a certificate with 2.0 CE points by the HSPA is issued as proof of achievement. Each module concludes with a knowledge quiz.
