Central Sterile & Supply Department (CSSD)
1. CENTRAL STERILE & SUPPLY
DEPARTMENT
IN A QUATERNARY CARE HOSPITAL
Understanding Process & SWOT analysis
Dr. Sudha Pathak & Mr. Omkar More
2. CSSD is a service unit in a hospital that processes, issue
& controls the sterile stores supply to all departments of
the hospital.
Or
CSSD is the Department which deals with receiving,
cleaning, packing, disinfecting, sterilizing, storing and
distributing all surgical instruments and equipments as per
well-delineated protocols and standardized procedures.
3. FACTS
o First CSSD was set in India at Jaslok Hospital in
July, 1973 by Nalini Gaithonde
o Analysts say that 85 per cent of most of the
upcoming hospitals have a well-equipped CSSD.
4. WHY CSSD ???
• By having separate CSSD, we can decrease the cost of
sterilizers through centralization of equipment in one
department. Besides, this would also ensure that a dedicated
staff can effectively monitor the sterilization process as per
the Standard Operative Procedures (SOPs).”
Ganesh Devadiga, Head, CSSD, Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital,
Mumbai.
• “CSSD requires technical competency, which implies that the
department controls all the activities of asset management
pertaining to selective procurement of general and
specialised surgical instruments and other inventory.
Vishwanath Kokitkar, CSSD and Laundry In- Charge, S L Raheja
Hospital.
5. WHY CSSD ???
• “The rise in incidence of nosocomial infection with
corresponding increase in mortality, length of stay
and cost can be brought down by establishing a
good CSSD set-up.”
Gopinathan T, Manager, CSSD, Amrita
Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), Kochi.
• CSSD was generally looked upon as an essential
part of an OT as the use of sterile supplies in a
hospital is maximum to the OT. However, all that
has changed. CSSD is considered today, integral
to the function of Out Patient Department (OPDs),
wards and other departments.”
Rekha Batura, Asst Medical Superindentent,
