B.3 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Purpose: The cleaning company selected will provide a thorough sterilizer cleaning service using manufacturer’s recommended cleaning products quarterly. Sterile Processing Service (SPS) will be responsible for scheduling cleanings, with the concurrence of Operating Room (OR), SPS Chief, and OR

Nurse Manager. The service will be initiated via contact between SPS Chief and the Cleaning Company representative. Sterilizers are cleaned 1 or 2 at a time, following joint planning between SPS and OR.

Consequently, there should always be at least one sterilizer available in SPS and 2 or 3 in the OR. The cleaning service must occur during non-operational hours e.g. Saturday and Sunday and will be coordinated in conjunction with the Sterile Processing Service operating schedule. Because the cleaning is staggered, and it is scheduled on weekends, there should never be any complete “down time” of sterilizers.

The product to be used is Getinge Chamber Cleaner. It contains Hydrochloric Acid. Safety precautions shall be taken to use the product. The SPS department will furnish all of the Getinge Schedule 90

Chamber Cleaner, part number 61301605286 ordered from Getinge. This cost should be removed from any quotes considering it. Goggles, a respirator and gloves are to be worn to protect the individual performing the service. Below is the list of sterilizers needed to be cleaned.

Scope: Before applying the chamber cleaner, the sterilizer must be turned off and allowed to cool. The interior racks and rails should be removed when applicable. The product being used can be used full strength or diluted up to 5 parts with water. The chamber cleaner needs to be applied with a spray bottle on a small area approximately 2’x 2’ in size. After allowing the chemical to remain for five minutes the cleaner is wiped from the chamber. The cleaned area is rinsed with water and wiped dry. The cleaned area is inspected to ensure that mineral deposits and dirt are removed. The process is repeated on hard to clean areas and scrubbed with a brush as needed. The process is continued until the unit is completely cleaned. The interior racks and rails need to be cleaned and re-installed. The unit will then be test ran to ensure proper operation before returning the unit to service.

The sterilizer cleaning company selected must be insured and carry at least one million dollars of general liability insurance through an insurance company to ensure accidents and injuries are monetarily covered.

The company will provide a Certificate of Liability upon selection. The selected company is responsible for the removal of all used materials i.e. towels, cleaning solution and any other product from the facility upon completion of the service. Customer satisfaction is to be determined by visual inspection of SPS

Chief and OR Manager, review of quality checks and function post cleaning (Bowie Dick tests and BI tests, as appropriate) and concurrence that the work is satisfactory. Customer satisfaction of the cleaning process needs to be guaranteed by the company performing the cleaning services.
