AS/NZS 4187:2014 – Video Mini-Series on CSSD Compliance Requirements

August 30, 2021

AS4187 presentation by Jessica Pena – 10 Part Video series

IntraSpace was pleased to conduct a presentation at the Healthcare Leaders Forum in May 2021. The topic “Developing an action plan to prevent Healthcare-associated infections” discusses all aspects of how Healthcare Facilities need to upgrade their CSSD and other storage areas to meet the latest AS4187-2014 standards and the NSQHS Advisories.

We have broken this presentation into 10 quick videos for you and your team to learn more about this subject. All stakeholders including Nurse Unit Managers, Facilities, Infection Control and even Finance and Executive teams would do well to learn about the key deadlines that Healthcare Facilities need to know about. You can download the presentation itself as well as all the videos below:

IntraSpace understood the processes involved through design phase and have the experience and knowledge to value add. The logistics phase was well executed and IntraSpace worked well with the overall project logistics plan to ensure on time deliveries and installs in accordance with the project programs. Finished product is of high quality to the clients satisfaction. The Communication was very good and you were able to adapt to the inevitable changes that occurred.

I would use IntraSpace again and highly recommend for a Health Care project.

Well done Jeff and to the rest of the IntraSpace team.

Alex LongFFE Manager, Royal Adelaide Hospital Project
We have achieved increased storage capacity (70%) within the confines of our existing storage area

The installation of the IntraSpace storage system in our redeveloped Emergency Department has been a very positive process. The modular system has improved workflow and we are now reviewing our work practices to capture the efficiencies with improved outcomes. Compliance to Infection Control for both Storage and Handling of Sterile stock and the Victorian Cleaning Standards is being met with decreased resources and man hours due to the efficiencies the system provides.

The team from IntraSpace assisted us with clear storage options, accurate quotes and met all time lines during our redevelopment project. They are a very professional company to work with I would recommend them to any Healthcare facility looking to upgrade storage systems.

Hopefully as we start to move through the rest of the hospital with review of storage of stock we will have the opportunity to work with you redesigning our remaining clinical store rooms.

Infection Control ManagerWest Gippsland Healthcare
We would like to thank IntraSpace for the high quality fitout of our Health Information Department. Now that we have additional capacity in the new shelving, it is not necessary to cull as often. The installation of Filestor Mobile Shelving in Hand Operated and Mechanically Assisted style, have been a great success, as well as the supply of all the Office Furniture for our office areas.
