About the Unit
The Sterile Processing Department is a fast‑paced work environment.
Upon hire, team members are expected to attend a 90‑day orientation. During orientation, technicians will attend an SPD 101 class where educators will teach the Sterile Processing Department standard of work and regulations. Technicians will also have a preceptor during orientation.
Technicians assemble case carts according to surgery schedules, including sterile instrumentation according to patient procedure. Completed carts are transported to the OR and placed in the designated area. Depending on the hire site in Grand Rapids, Sterile Processing Departments can anticipate 40–90 surgical cases. Sites may have small differences but the job duties and expectations remain the same. Team members are expected to wear surgical attire in the department.
Orientation/Training
New team members must complete a Sterile Processing educational training course. The first six weeks of this 90‑day course are mandatory on the first shift (07:00–15:30, Monday–Friday). After completion, the team member will transition to their hired shift times for the remainder of orientation.

Scope of Work
Sterile Processing professionals are responsible for cleaning, decontaminating, sterilizing, and distributing medical and surgical instrumentation.

Work performed in the Sterile Processing department follows a processing cycle: Decontam → Inspect → Assemble → Package → Sterilize → Inspect → Store → Inspect → Dispense. After use, items that can be reprocessed are returned to the decontamination area to start the process again. At each step, items are inspected to ensure they are clean, in good repair, assembled, and processed correctly. Sterile Processing Techs also handle record‑keeping and tracking across many functions. They must deliver properly processed products when needed, with the patient at the center of every quality concern.
