Guardian Veterinary Specialists is looking for Surgical Instrument Processing Technicians!!!
Guardian Veterinary Specialists is a privately-owned 24-hour emergency/critical care and veterinary specialty hospital in Brewster, NY. We are privately owned and community centric.
We currently have openings for Surgical Instrument Processing Technicians. You will be working with a great staff and the best veterinary doctors and surgeons in the country.
Successful candidates will be excellent communicators with a professional attitude. Veterinary assistant experience preferred.
Surgical Instrument Processing Technicians:
The Veterinary Surgical Pack and Prep assistant is the go-to person for maintaining the cleanliness of the surgical department and will keep the day flowing by ensuring the area is stocked, clean and tools are prepared and available for the day. As assistants you will learn all there is to know about surgical instruments, sterilization, nomenclature, aseptic technique, patient prep, OR set up, anesthetic machine maintenance, and more
As with any set of guidelines, they are constructed with the optimal situations in mind. Unusual situations will, from time to time, present themselves and you will have to use your best judgment to handle the situation you have been presented with, which may not be covered by your job description or clinic handbook.
Job Expectations:
- Basic Restocking of the prep area (not including the drawer that has injectables). I.e.: syringe caddies, drawers with tape, ECG buttons, fluid lines and attachments, fluid cabinet, towels/blankets. Part of this will be considered “putting away the central supply order”.
- Restocking a small supply of biohazard bags (lab bags) and medication bags for use locally in our area when needed for submission of laboratory testing or for patient discharging.
- Proper training on the sweeping and mopping protocols to be completed in the Surgery Prep area, Pack and Prep, Surgery Office, and nearby hallway by the procedure board once daily.
- Cleaning and wiping down all surfaces, counter surfaces, computers, keyboards, and phones.
- Wiping down and cleaning of equipment with rescue wipes.
- Preparation of IVC flushes (predominantly saline with a handful of heparin for when we initially place the IVC).
- Assist with laundry as needed once the surgery tasks are completed.
- Restock the bandage cart in the way the Doctors like to keep it.
- Maintain proper cleaning of the ET tubes.
- Changing of, emptying the trash cans, and replacing fresh bags in the pack and prep, surgery office and prep areas.
- Properly fold the sterile reusable gowns and sterile towels.
- Preparing and wrapping non-delicate surgical instruments.
