Sterile Supply Technician Jobs in Minnesota

A Sterile Supply Technician, also known as a Central Processing Technician or Sterile Processing Technician, plays a crucial role in the medical technology industry by ensuring that all surgical tools and supplies are sterilized and ready for use. These professionals are responsible for cleaning, sterilizing, and assembling surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies. They also examine equipment to detect leaks, worn or loose parts, or other indications of disrepair. Their goal is to prevent infections and ensure patient safety by properly decontaminating, sterilizing, storing, and distributing surgical instruments and devices.

Important skills for a Sterile Supply Technician include meticulous attention to detail, understanding of sterilization techniques, and the ability to follow strict protocols and regulations.

Required certifications typically include the Certified Registered Central Service Technician (CRCST) certification or the Certified Sterile Processing and Distribution Technician (CSPDT) certification. Before becoming a Sterile Supply Technician, a person may have job roles such as a Medical Equipment Preparer, Operating Room Assistant, or Medical Assistant.
