As a Central Service Instrument Technician, you will offer crucial support in all patient care services and must be familiar with every tool used in an operating room. You will also be responsible for cleaning and packaging surgical instruments. In addition, you will sterilize, process, put together, store, and pass out medical devices and supplies, and keep records related to sterilization monitors, orders, and inventory.
