The Ecolab Central Sterile Program takes a comprehensive approach to standardizing instrument reprocessing by helping to provide cleaning verification, monitoring and standardized processes to drive measurable improvements in infection prevention in hospitals and healthcare facilities.
The Ecolab Central Sterile Program supports a standardized approach to instrument cleaning and instrument reprocessing driving consistency and operational efficiency through evidence-based practices, resulting in proven and sustainable results.
A comprehensive approach to instrument reprocessing helps to monitor and standardize processes across multiple touchpoints. Our commitment to measurable results in instrument cleaning and central sterile processing helps protect patients from surgical site infections (SSIs), ensure industry standard compliance and protect margins for your hospital.
Instrument Reprocessing for Hospitals
Cleaning is the first critical step in the sterilization of surgical instruments. You can clean without sterilizing, but you cannot sterilize without effective instrument cleaning. Staying compliant means elevated sterility assurance levels and standardized cleaning verification that drive best practices in surgical site infection prevention.
TJC survey revealed that only 54% of hospitals are industry standards compliant in the U.S.
