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 10.0: Packaging and Sterile Barrier Systems I​:​
Sterile barrier systems are essential for maintaining the sterility of medical devices during transportation and storage. Among the different types of sterile barrier systems, those can be divided into pouches and reels, wrapping sheets and rigid container packaging. This module discusses the regulatory requirements governing the use of sterile barrier systems. It highlights the importance of compliance with these requirements to ensure patient safety and reduce the risk of infection. It then explores materials and classification of packaging, including its durability, reusability, and compatibility with various sterilization methods. The module also covers the handling of sterile barrier systems within processing and highlights difference between the different types. Overall, this module aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of sterile barrier systems.

Certification: 
Upon successful completion of this module, a certificate with 2.0 CE credits by the HSPA is issued as proof of achievement. Each module concludes with a knowledge quiz.
