CSSD for Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Lübeck
An automated sterilization center relieves employees of physically hard work
A substantial part of the CSSD at the Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Lübeck is the sterile storage. Once the surgical equipment is cleaned, it is packed in wire baskets and registered. A robot then stacks the wire baskets and sorts them by weight. The storage is a so-called “chaos storage” with an automatic shuttle placing the wire baskets on free shelves. When equipment is needed for a scheduled surgery, the shuttle collects the wire basket containing the right equipment.
