On 7, 14 and 15 May, having obtained the training accreditation from the hospital, the training and commissioning of the new medical device reprocessing unit of the hospital of Viladecans, in Barcelona, Spain, took place.
The company MATACHANA, was awarded this project, after a public tender in 2023. This session was carried out because the hospital has completed the first phase of the expansion and reform of its infrastructure, which houses the hospitalisation units, part of the operating theatres, the sterilization service, outpatients, diagnostic imaging, day hospital, interventional area and emergency. These improvements will increase the resolution capacity and increase the comfort of patients and professionals in this healthcare area.
On the first day, we held a practical session in the morning and afternoon shifts, where we visited the different areas that form part of the service and reviewed the handling and features of the MATACHANA devices installed in the service. This allowed professionals to practice with the equipment, simulating real situations and some incidents, to improve the level of understanding and adaptability of the attendees.
On the last 2 days, specific sessions were held on the concepts of cleaning, disinfection, inspection, packaging and sterilization of medical devices, adapting the knowledge to the new equipment, as well as to the current context that regulates the reprocessing of medical devices.
From MATACHANA, we appreciate the high level of interest shown by all attendees and we hope that the service provided is in line with the expectations of professionals and therefore, of patients.
