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 I)' and 'Senior Processing Technician RUMED (Level II)'.

The modules are conducted in English, 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 II):
The Level II program consists of 9 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 ​7.2: Quality Management and Validation III​:​
Quality management and validation are key elements in ensuring patient safety in medical device reprocessing. This module focuses on the role of the Reprocessing Unit for Medical Devices (RUMED) in validation processes, covering the validation of washing and disinfection (WD) as well as steam sterilization. It explains how to define correct loads for performance qualification (PQ) and highlights the differences between validation and quality management systems. Participants will learn about the steps involved in validating washers and sterilizers, the importance of proper requalification, and how to actively participate in validation. Overall, the module provides practical insights into maintaining high-quality standards in RUMED. 

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. Once you have completed all modules and provided the corresponding certificates to the RUMED Academy (contact@rumedacademy.com), you will be awarded the Reprocessing Technician RUMED (Level II) certificate.
