SPD: Sterile Processing Department
What is SPD/CS?
In every medical facility there is an area or department which is responsible for reprocessing and distributing instruments and patient care equipment. These areas also include the managing and monitoring of the sterilization processes for that facility. This area is the focal point for all instruments, trays, patient equipment and supplies for that facility.
It seems almost every facility calls the area with these responsibilities a different name. They do primarily the same functions and have the same responsibilities to assure the safest patient care. Some of the more common names are:
