A room for storage and holding of sterile stock for use in the Operating Suite or other treatment areas. This area may incorporate a workstation and cupboards as required.
Sterile stock should be stored in dust free shelving which may include static shelving, mobile shelving or compactus.
Shelving used should have a smooth finish to avoid damage to sterilised packs. Structural Engineer's advice should be sought if compactus is to be used (floor load bearing capacity and potential deflection effect on walls, doors, etc). The size and number/ type of shelving may be adapted to suit project specific requirements.
Special Design Considerations:
- The workstation area may include facilities for instrument scanning and
tracking systems
- The arrangement and type of shelving should allow for adequate
circulation, easy cleaning and rotation of stock
- Shelving should comply with relevant OH&S and Ergonomics
Regulations and Guidelines
- Install compactus units according to manufacturer's specifications.
