I have over three years of experience in sterilizing medical equipment, including surgical instruments and endoscopes. I am proficient in using autoclaves, ultrasonic cleaners, and chemical disinfectants. I follow strict protocols to ensure all equipment meets sterilization standards and is safe for patient use. My attention to detail and adherence to guidelines have consistently resulted in zero contamination incidents.

In a fast-paced environment, I prioritize tasks by assessing urgency and impact. Critical items needed for surgeries or emergencies are handled first. I use checklists and time management tools to stay organized and ensure nothing is overlooked. Communication with the surgical team and other departments also helps me adjust priorities as needed to maintain efficiency and meet deadlines.

I am well-versed in infection control practices, including proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and adherence to sterilization protocols. I understand the importance of preventing cross-contamination and follow CDC and AAMI guidelines. Regular training and staying updated on best practices ensure I maintain a safe and sterile environment for both staff and patients.

When equipment malfunctions, I immediately report the issue to the appropriate maintenance team and document the problem. I have basic troubleshooting skills to identify minor issues, but I avoid attempting repairs beyond my expertise. I ensure backup equipment is available to minimize disruptions and maintain workflow efficiency while the issue is resolved.

I maintain accurate inventory by conducting regular audits and using tracking systems to monitor stock levels. I label and organize items systematically to ensure easy access and prevent shortages. I also collaborate with procurement teams to reorder supplies promptly and verify deliveries to ensure accuracy. This approach minimizes waste and ensures all necessary equipment is always available.
