Automation improves ergonomy
The CSSD is responsible for maintaining the instruments used for surgery in Tyks. Thanks to its efficient operation, the instruments are available in the right place at the right time, cleaned, disinfected, inspected, and sterilized. Automation has eliminated heavy transfer and lifting tasks from sterile supply technicians’ work and made operations more efficient.
We are proud of the unique automation system. It has made our central sterile supply department a very attractive place to work and the number of absences has halved over these years.
