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 4.0: Sterilization:
Sterilization is a critical process in hospitals to ensure the safety of patients and healthcare workers. It involves the elimination or removal of all microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, from medical devices, instruments, and surfaces. Sterilization methods vary depending on the type of equipment or Instruments and the intended use. The most common methods used in hospitals are steam sterilization and chemical sterilization. The effectiveness of the sterilization process is dependent on several factors, such as the type and level of contamination, the exposure time and temperature, and the quality of the sterilization equipment. Routine checks and batch monitoring are important to ensure the functionality of the sterilizer. If medical devices and instruments are not properly sterilized, healthcare-associated (nosocomial) infections can occur, which can have serious consequences for patients.
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, you will be awarded the Reprocessing Technician RUMED (Level 1) certificate.
