Introduction
The Supply, Processing, & Distribution Department Design Guide was developed as a design
tool to assist the medical center staff and the contracting officers in better understanding the
choices that designers ask them to make, and to help designers understand the functional
requirements necessary for proper operation of Supply, Processing, & Distribution (SPD)
Departments based in a VA Hospital.
The Design Guide is intended to be a graphic consolidation of existing Department of Veterans
Affairs standards and criteria. It contains data from the following sources:

General Considerations
General Planning Concepts
Flow with Sequence: Supply, Processing, and Distribution (SPD) are organizationally aligned
under the Nurse Executive/Chief Nurse. The mission of SPD is to provide a steady flow of
patient care supplies and equipment to points of need, and to return contaminated items to a
central decontamination area for cleaning.
SPD is the first line of defense against harmful microorganisms. Contamination prevention is
achieved by closely monitoring the following elements:
Air Flow: To minimize microorganism movement from dirty to clean areas. In clean
areas there is a positive air flow.
Staff Flow: Personnel work either on the clean side or the dirty side of the SPD unit to
avoid cross contamination.
Work Flow: Refers to the movement of clean (sterile) supplies and the return of
contaminated items for decontamination and sterilization.
Adjacencies: SPD must be closely affiliated with surgical procedure suites. SPD may be
directly connected to the sterile support core for the Surgical Suite, or may be located with
convenient and direct access via cart lifts and/or staff circulation.
Processing and Distribution Methods
SPD is divided into three main units/areas. The first unit is Decontamination, where all reusable
medical and surgical items are sent for cleaning. It is essential that contaminated materials do
not use the same path as the clean materials. The second unit is Preparation. In this unit, items
are inspected and packaged for sterilization. Most sterilization is accomplished by using steam;
or, in the case of materials that cannot withstand intense temperatures, ethylene oxide (EtO)
gas (or another suitable gas) is used. Materials undergoing EtO sterilization must be adequately
aerated to ensure that no hazardous traces are left on devices. The final unit in SPD involves
the Distribution Process, including distributing surgical case carts. This unit is further subdivided
into Primary Stock and Secondary Stock. Primary Stock refers to the supplies that are stored
within the confines of the SPD department. Secondary Stock materials are those in user areas
such as clinics, nursing care units, and intensive care units.
NARRATIVE
SECTION 2-1
Supply, Processing & Distribution
February 2010
Current Trends
A current trend impacting SPD is the increasing complexity of many surgical procedures such
as laparoscopy, endoscopy, laser, micro-vascular, and more complex surgeries. These
complicated surgeries require more complicated instrumentation. This complex instrumentation
has led to the trend for SPD technicians to be certified, thus requiring the staff to have a certain
level of competency and to keep up with periodic/annual continuing education.
Another current trend in SPD is instrument tracking. This can eliminate hours of searching for
lost instruments, location of key assets, tracking loaner equipment, and ensuring patient safety
and the quest for zero “never events” through the validation of sterilization processes.
Future SPD Trends
An anticipated future SPD trend, sustainable decontamination and sterilization equipment has
been embraced by many manufacturers who are reviewing the environmental impact of the
product lines, and developing machines that are safer for the staff and kinder to the
environment. Examples include equipment features that yield significant water savings, the use
of fewer toxic or less-toxic chemicals, etc.
Other future trends include stricter protection of healthcare workers, since pathogenic
organisms (Hepatitis B or C, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)) have become known.
Special Considerations
EtO: The provision of ethylene oxide (EtO) gas (or another suitable gas) may be required to
sterilize selected instrumentation that is unable to sustain the high heat of steam-based
sterilization processing. Because of the high toxicity of the sterilizing agent used in this process,
EtO sterilization must be sustained in a fully contained room that is part of the Prep, Assembly,
and Sterilization space.
Location of Bulk Storage: Bulk storage is where supplies are received in case lots from the
warehouse, prime vendor and other sources. The Bulk Storage should be located near the SPD
Clean/Sterile Storage area and connected to the SPD Breakout. No supplies are to be in this
area; low unit of measure. (Note: Hospital sterilized items, including instrument sets, will not
enter this area.)
Endoscope Processing: Endoscopes may be rigid or flexible. Rigid Endoscopes are typically
sterilized with the same vigor and care as the surgical instrumentation. Flexible Endoscopes
typically require minimum high-level disinfection and occur in close proximity to where the
procedure is performed (i.e., GI Suite). However, some SPD suites may need to accommodate
the reprocessing of Flexible Endoscopes. This will require dedicated Endoscope Reprocessors.

Technical Considerations
Natural Disasters
Hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, and floods are natural phenomena that occur within regional
areas of designated probability. Design solutions should address these probabilities where they
occur to mitigate building damage and loss of life wherever possible. Selection of building sites
should avoid flood plains or flood prone areas. Regional areas susceptible to hurricanes should
incorporate design features that mitigate damage associated with high winds, wind-driven rain
and projectiles. Tornado design mitigation is similar to hurricanes; however, much more
localized and intensive in nature. Buildings in areas with probability of earthquakes need to be
seismically restrained in accordance with H-18-8 Seismic Design Requirements.
Because of its critical mission in supporting surgical procedures, the SPD should be planned to
allow as continuous an operation as possible during and immediately after natural disasters.
Interior Materials, Finishes and Doors
The interior materials, finishes and doors shall follow guidance in PG-18-10, Architectural
Design Manual and PG-18-14, Room Finishes, Door and Hardware Schedule. The Guide Plate
for each space includes a listing of design criteria applicable to that space.
Contemporary Advancements/Evidence Based Design
Accessibility: Accessibility is accommodated by the application of PG 18-13, VA Barrier Free
Design Guide; Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility standards (ABAAS), Appendices C and D
to 36 CFR, and ADA Standards for Accessible Design (28 CFR part 36) to space and fixed
equipment layouts.

Architectural Considerations
Location of SPD
Several factors influence the location of the SPD. These include:
Access to the OR: In some circumstances, the sterile delivery side of the SPD can be directly
linked with a sterile core of the OR, allowing a direct transfer of materials and instrumentation
and minimizing transport time.
As an alternative, the SPD can be located on another level. The SPD may be linked via clean
and soiled cart lifts. Dedicated clean and soiled cart lifts need to arrive and leave at appropriate
locations within the SPD, and cannot be used for any other function, nor can a single lift be used
for both clean and soiled transport. Clean and soiled dumbwaiters may be an alternative, but
are not an ideal solution in new construction as they require the transfer of items onto the
dumbwaiter, then off at the point of destination, while the cart lift allows for the transport of a
fully loaded cart.
Access to Loading Dock: The SPD receives fresh supplies to store, inventory, and distribute
to augment instrumentation that is then used to stock supply or case carts. Access to the
loading dock needs to be straightforward and simple to allow the repeated and consistent
delivery of material. If the loading dock is on a different level of the facility, care must be taken to
plan the entire route from the dock to the SPD, confirming corridor width, elevator size, etc.
Environmental Requirements
Environmental considerations most critical to SPD are: temperature, humidity, ventilation, light,
and protection from contaminants.
Facility design is crucial to the efficiency and effectiveness with which these needed
environmental conditions are met. Design features deserving particular attention include:
„

Space Planning Criteria
Space planning criteria for SPD includes the following considerations:
Quantity of Space: The quantity of space will be driven by the total through-put needs of the
SPD, which is, in turn, driven by the surgical volumes and surgical procedure mix. Key factors in
determining total size will be the total number of sterilizers needed and the total daily through­
put of instrumentation carts. The relationship between surgical volumes and SPD through-put is
direct; if the ORs are planned to expand, the SPD needs to have correlative capacity.
Location of Space: The relationship between SPD and the OR Suites is critical, as previously
noted. In addition, a clear path from loading docks to the SPD is essential.
Quality of Space: The space itself must be able to provide an appropriately clean environment
for the handling of soiled instrumentation and sterile instrumentation and supplies. Mechanical,
electrical, and plumbing requirements are defined under “Engineering Considerations”. In
addition, finishes must respond to the need to be able to clean the environment appropriately.
Room Relationships & Adjacencies
One of the primary purposes of the SPD is to deliver clean/sterile supplies and instrumentation
to the OR. It does so by receiving and cleaning soiled instrumentation and by staging and
assembling sterile instrumentation and clean/sterile supplies for delivery to surgical sites and
other areas that require sterile implementation within the hospital. In doing so, it must promote
efficient delivery of material while maintaining the clean and sterile status of instrumentation and
supplies. The four key spaces are sequentially linked, and include:
Decontamination: Soiled instrumentation arrives here as the first stage in the SPD process.
Soiled instrumentation is received via closed case carts that may return via elevators, dedicated
cart lifts, or dumbwaiters directly to the Soiled Receiving and Decontamination Room.
Preparation, Assembly, and Sterilization Area: This room is directly connected to
Decontamination. Equipment passes through a washer decontaminator that allows the transfer
of instrumentation through the washer/disinfector or sterilizer to the Preparation, Assembly, and
Sterilization Area. Access for sterilizer maintenance must be provided, and there may be a
pass-through window for small items.
Clean and Sterile Storage: This room is directly connected to the Prep, Assembly, and
Sterilization Room and is used to store and pick sterilized instrumentation and sterile supplies
for delivery to the point of use.
Staff Support: These spaces serve to provide administrative and break support for SPD staff.
It is critical to the functional efficiency and safety of the SPD that these spaces are sequentially
linked for one-way flow-through of instrumentation and carts. This promotes the maintaining of
the sterile state of instrumentation as it is cleaned for re-use.

Functions of Areas within SPD
Clean Receiving and Breakout Area: This space serves as an area to receive and break out
disposable supplies received from the warehouse, prime vendor, or manufacturers. This area is
also where specialty carts such as crash/code carts and isolation carts are returned after use for
the supplies to be removed before the empty cart is taken to the Decontamination Area for
cleaning. This area is also used to receive loaner instruments and equipment and for them to be
picked up. Consignment supplies and implants are to be received here, as well.
Anteroom: This space serves to maintain proper air pressure relationships when personnel
move between adjacent spaces.
Decontamination Area: This includes staging space and circulation space designed to allow
for the gross decontamination of instrumentation, followed by the placement of the
instrumentation on a washer decontaminator that will deliver clean instrumentation to the Prep,
Assembly, and Sterilization Room. In addition, there is a pass-through window for selected
items that are either too delicate or will not fit will be directed to the EtO Sterilizer in the Prep,
Assembly, and Sterilization room.
Automatic Cart Washer: This room houses the equipment that receives soiled carts, washes
them, and delivers them to the Clean and Sterile Storage Room.
Detergent/Water Treatment Room: Supports the washer disinfectors, sterilizers, and cart
washers.
Decontamination HAC: In order to maintain clarity of cleanliness, the Decontamination Area
has a dedicated Housekeeping Aide’s Closet, accessed only from the Decontamination Area
and used only for cleaning in that space
Staff Lockers/Showers: One-way flow-through staff lockers are provided to ensure that
Decontamination staff arrive, dress and work within the Decontamination area without crosscontaminating other spaces or public corridors. Separate lockers are to be provided for staff
working in the Prep, Assembly, and Clean/Sterile Storage Rooms.
Manual Equipment Washer Room: Space for manual cleaning of reusable equipment.
Soiled Cart Lift: If a lift is used for the movement of soiled carts, the soiled cart lift must deliver
the soiled cart directly to the Decontamination area. Soiled carts must be restricted to the soiled
cart lift.
Clean Cart Lift: If a lift is used for the movement of clean carts, the clean cart lift must deliver
the clean cart directly to the Surgery suite sterile storage space. Clean carts must be restricted
to the clean cart lift.
Prep, Assembly, and Sterilization: This room preps, assembles, and sterilizes equipment and
instrumentation. Instrumentation arrives through-wall washer/sterilizers or sterilizers; other

selected items may arrive via a window pass-through. The room decants prepped and packed
sterilized instruments into the Clean/Sterile Storage Room. As part of its function, the Prep,
Assembly, and Sterilization Room has an EtO Sterilizer, used for devices that cannot withstand
steam sterilization due to temperature or moisture.
Clean/Sterile Storage: This room contains a number of functions that support the staging and
storage of clean and sterile supplies for distribution to point of service. Those functional zones
include:
Case Cart Holding: This area is positioned immediately adjacent to the delivery door from
Prep, Assembly, and Sterilization to facilitate the assembly of case carts with specific sterile
packs for case carts.
Equipment Storage and Testing: This area, positioned to receive cleaned carts and cleaned
medical equipment, accommodates the testing and storage of equipment and the temporary
queuing of carts.
Case Cart Area: This area stores and stocks clean supply dedicated for OR use. These
supplies have been broken out to accommodate final stocking on case carts or other dedicated
cart delivery systems.
Dispatch/Control: These workstations accommodate staff that direct the flow of case carts
and cleaned/tested equipment to point of use.
In addition, there are several rooms that have a direct relationship to Clean/Sterile Holding with
all of its work zones. These include:
Receiving and Breakout Room: This room allows for the arrival of clean supplies and the
breaking out of those supplies from shipping cartons and boxes. Packing debris should be
removed without entering the Clean/Sterile Holding Room. Space for inventory management is
provided in this space.
Bulk Storage: This room allows for the queuing of the storage Receiving and Breakout Room
prior to unpacking and stocking shelving in the Clean/Sterile Storage Room.
Staff Lockers: Dedicated lockers and a toilet are provided for staff working within the Prep,
Assembly, and Sterilization Room and the Clean/Sterile Supply Storage Area. This dedicated
one-way flow through locker room is designed to promote the maintenance of the clean
environment in both major rooms.
Support Spaces: There are several functions that support the core mission of the SPD. These
include:
Staff Break Room/Conference Room: The Staff Break Room/Conference Room is designed
to serve staff working with the SPD. Staff using this Break Room/Conference Room must return
to their respective worksites with attention to cleaning and gowning protocols suitable for each
key space.

Engineering Considerations
Mechanical (Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning)
An adequate heating and ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system is a critical element in
planning for SPD and requires careful evaluation. Maintenance of space airflows and relative air
pressurizations to contain contamination and to maintain clean environments is a critical aspect
of the system. The Mechanical Engineer should coordinate with the Architect and equipment
specialists in order to accommodate sterilizing equipment specified for the project. Any request
for deviation from HVAC design criteria must be approved by the VA and occur no later than the
design development stage. The following represents the highlights of the mechanical system
design for SPD. Refer to the VA HVAC Design Manual for additional design requirements.
HVAC System: The “clean” portions of the SPD area must be positively pressurized with
respect to adjoining areas and the “dirty” portions of the SPD area must be under negative
pressure with respect to adjoining areas. Within the SPD, the following relative air
pressurizations for each of the spaces listed must be maintained.

3.
EtO Sterilizers (separate dedicated exhaust systems for the room and the sterilizer).
Automatic and/or Manual Equipment wash area.
General Exhaust of entire SPD Suite, including steam sterilizers equipment areas.
A dedicated 100% outside air handling unit must be provided for the entire SPD Suite. The unit
must be constant volume. The unit should include the necessary primary air heating, cooling,
humidification, dehumidification, and filtration provisions.
Since air is a very good carrier of contaminating agents, air in the Soiled Receiving and
Decontamination unit should never mix with air in the Preparation and Inspection unit. It is
imperative that the soiled areas have a negative air pressure and the clean areas have a
positive air pressure.
Individual supply air terminals should be provided for individual SPD areas. Supply air terminals
should be constant volume type with airflow volume control capability and include a reheat coil.
Individual area exhaust air terminals with airflow volume control capability are not mandatory,
but should be considered on an ‘as needed ’pressurization control basis.
NARRATIVE
SECTION 2-11
Supply, Processing & Distribution
February 2010
Reconditioning of the medical and surgical instruments and utensils is dependent upon the
temperature and humidity. The Soiled Receiving and Decontamination Area, and the
Preparation, Assembly & Sterilization Area should have individual room temperature and
humidity controls.
Controls and Monitoring:
„
All Suite air systems are to operate continuously in order to maintain room pressurization
relationships.
„
Provide room pressurization monitors, with alarms, at Preparation Room (relative to the
Decontamination Room) and at Clean/Sterile Storage Room (relative to the surrounding
corridor) and at Decontamination Room (relative to the surrounding corridor).
„
EtO gas release monitors should be placed within the EtO Sterilizer Room and outside of
the EtO Sterilizer Room in the Preparation/Pack Room, as a warning system for potential
EtO leaks. In addition, each of the EtO exhaust systems should be monitored and
alarmed.

restrooms. Attention should be given to selecting fixtures, lamps, and controls that best meet
the needs of the SPD staff. The fixtures typically use F32T8 lamps in compliance with the
Energy Policy Act (EPACT 2005). Lamps shall have a minimum color rendering index (CRI) of
70 and a color temperature of 3500 degrees Kelvin (K). Lighting is typically controlled by wall
mounted switches located at the entrance to the room. Larger spaces may utilize multiple
switching by separate switches for illuminating a selected area or multilevel lamping control. The
use of occupancy sensors is recommended for administrative areas, restrooms, shower rooms,
and locker rooms to help reduce energy consumption
ƒ
ƒ

Use light fixtures rated for wet locations in areas specified on the Guide Plates.
Lighting load densities should be verified for the actual design, as they may vary
depending on the room configuration, fixture types, lamps and ballasts used.
Serve selected light fixtures from the emergency electrical power system to allow for
continued operation during a power outage. For facilities that do not require emergency
generators, provide selected light fixtures with battery ballast.
Power: General purpose duplex receptacles are typically provided on each wall in
administrative areas and where power is required for given areas of SPD. Multiple outlet
assemblies (plugmold) shall be provided in Equipment Testing and Storage and areas that
perform equipment testing and battery charging. Dedicated duplex or special receptacles are
provided for selected pieces of equipment. Workstations with personal computers (PC's) are
typically provided with quadruplex receptacles for the PC, monitor and printer. Junction boxes
are provided for equipment requiring a hardwired connection.
Emergency Power: Since ventilation and adequate temperature are integral in the function of
SPD, the following mechanical systems must be connected to emergency power system and
must remain operational during power outages: Supply Air System, General Exhaust System,
Wash Area Exhaust System, EtO Sterilizer Exhaust System, EtO Gas Release Monitors, Steam
Sterilizers, and all DDC controls for these systems. Additionally, the chilled water system
serving the SPD Supply Air System must be connected to the emergency power system. All
sterilization equipment is recommended to be connected to the emergency electrical power
system if possible. Steam sterilizers must be connected to the emergency power system. The
NARRATIVE

emergency electrical power system should be reviewed to determine if sufficient capacity is
available for connection of all other sterilizers and other SPD equipment.
Communications/Special Systems
Follow criteria as prescribed in PG-18-10, Electrical and Telecommunication’s Design Manual
for communications and special systems.
Telephone: Outlets are typically provided in administrative areas and in proximity to
workstations at selected locations within the SPD work areas
Automatic Data Processing (ADP): Computer outlets are typically provided at each
workstation with a personal computer (PC) and/or a printer.
Intercom: An interdepartmental intercom system should be provided to allow communication
between the various departments within the SPD area. Intercom stations should be placed in
the Soiled Receiving and Decontamination Area; Preparation, Assembly, and Sterilization Area;
and Dispatch Area. Exact locations and quantities of intercom stations should be coordinated
with the Chief of SPD.
Public Address: The department should be included as part of the hospital-wide PA system.
The public address system is typically part of the telephone system and installation shall be
coordinated accordingly. Speakers shall be located in selected areas as determined necessary
by the SPD staff.
Life Safety and Fire Protection
As stated in the VA Fire Protection Design Manual, the Public Buildings Amendment Act (PL
100-678) requires all Federal agencies to follow the latest editions of nationally recognized fire
and life safety codes. VA has adopted the National Fire Codes (NFC), except NFPA 5000,
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Life safety requirements are
specifically addressed in the Life Safety Code, NFPA 101. Fire protection features not
addressed by the NFC should be designed to comply with requirements of the latest edition of
the International Building Code (IBC). For guidance on compliance with other Codes and
Standards, refer to PG-18-3 Design and Construction Procedures, Topic 1.
NARRATIVE
SECTION 2-14
Supply, Processing & Distribution

Concerns Specific to Supply, Processing &
Distribution
Equipment: Equipment may be purchased by either the VA (Owner) or the contractor and
installed by the contractor (CC), or purchased by the VA (Owner) and installed by the VA or the
Vendor (VV). If purchased by the contractor, specifications must be clearly written.
The Chief of SPD operations at each VA medical center is knowledgeable about equipment
styles and types that best meet the needs of the facility, and should guide the selection of
equipment. If purchasing equipment not listed in GSA catalogs, specifications must be
sufficiently detailed to assure quality acquisition.
The selection of equipment should be fully coordinated with the facility’s design in order that
utility and space requirements are considered during design development. It is imperative that
all power and water resources be fully accommodated, and that the mechanical and ventilation
systems are designed to be responsive to heat loads created by specific equipment. Thus, the
specific choice of equipment must be established early on to promote a consistent and
coordinated plan. Careful attention must be given to the location and capacity of electric outlets,
water and steam supply, drains, vacuum, exhaust ducts and other utilities, to insure capacity
and compatibility with the equipment to be installed. Utilities and their locations are shown on
the Guide Plates and are not project specific. It is the responsibility of the person selecting the
equipment and the project designers to determine the adequacy of utilities in each space.
Sanitation Equipment: Frequent and thorough cleaning of shelves and room surfaces is
essential to prevent build up of dust and unwanted particles which may contaminate medical
and surgical supplies.
Room walls are manually scrubbed with either a detergent and/or disinfectant. Thus, to facilitate
cleaning, walls are typically specified with a washable surface. Floors in the Soiled Receiving
and Decontamination room may be damp mopped or cleaned with an electric floor scrubber. In
the Sterile/Non-Sterile Storage Room; however, cleaning with a damp mop will suffice.
Generally, storage shelves in the Sterile/Non-Sterile Storage Room are kept 200 to 250 mm (8
to 10 inches) above the floor to facilitate cleaning.
Ultrasonic Cleaners: Ultrasonic cleaners are often used as an initial step in the process of
cleaning surgical instruments. Ultrasonic cleaners are a mechanical system that uses sound
waves along with water and detergent to remove soil from instruments. Both tabletop and floor
units are available. Full-size ultrasonic cleaner is needed and required Tabletop units can also
be purchased specifically for cleaning delicate instruments with long lumens. Floor units are
designed to accommodate large quantities of instruments at one time and can have either single
or double chambers.
Washer/Disinfectors: Following the ultrasonic cleaning process, instruments are placed into
washer/disinfectors. Instruments and trays are loaded into the unit on the Decontamination side
of SPD, and removed upon completion of the cycle on the Prep/Pack side of SPD.
Washer/Disinfectors are heated by either electric or steam. Automation systems for loading and
unloading washer/disinfectors are highly recommended for departments that process large
NARRATIVE
SECTION 2-15
Supply, Processing & Distribution
February 2010
volumes of instruments. Washer/disinfectors are typically recessed between the
Decontamination area and the Prep/Pack area of SPD.
Scope Washers: These freestanding mechanical washers are used to effectively process
flexible scopes with lumens such as endoscopes or colonoscopes. Some washers are equipped
with a cycle that provides a final high-level disinfection flush. These will also be in the
Decontamination Area.
Drying Cabinets: These freestanding cabinets are used to dry equipment either on racks or
hooks. Drying cabinets are designed to have a constant air flow and variable temperature
settings. There are single door and pass-thru door units available.
Steam Gun: Steam guns are powered by steam and are typically used to clean carts and other
movable equipment that can withstand water and steam temperatures up to 270 degrees
Fahrenheit. A steam gun should always be used in a dedicated equipment wash room with
non-slip flooring and a floor drain.
Automatic Endoscope Reprocessors (AER): Mechanical units to wash and disinfect
immersible endoscopes, these units will have water hook ups and drains. These units use an
FDA-approved high-level disinfection solution to disinfect the semi-critical scopes after cleaning
that do not require sterilization for use. These units will also be in the Decontamination Area.
Sterilizers
Steam: Steam sterilizers are used to sterilize surgical instruments and equipment that can
withstand a temperature of 270 degrees Fahrenheit. Sterilizers are available in both cartloading and floor-loading models. Single door or pass-thru units can be used depending on the
department workflow. Steam sterilizers can be either freestanding or recessed.
Ethylene Oxide: Ethylene Oxide (EtO) sterilizers are used to sterilize items that cannot
withstand high temperature sterilization. They are designed with both a sterilization cycle of 130
degrees Fahrenheit, and an aeration cycle. Items should never be removed from an EtO
sterilizer until an aeration cycle is complete. EtO Sterilizers are generally small and can be
loaded by cart or by hand. A separate room should be dedicated for Ethylene Oxide sterilizers
and no other activity should occur in the room except to load and unload the units. Ethylene
Oxide is a carcinogenic gas that can cause difficulty breathing, dizziness, and convulsions.
Contact with liquid EtO can cause severe skin burns. EtO sterilizers can be either freestanding
or recessed. A dedicated exhaust system is required for Ethylene Oxide. Consult the VA HVAC
Design Manual for EtO exhaust system design requirements.
Gas Plasma: Gas plasma sterilization uses hydrogen peroxide to sterilize instruments and
equipment that cannot withstand high temperature sterilization. These sterilizers are powered by
electric and are either floor or counter mounted. There are no plumbing or steam requirements,
so the sterilizers can be easily relocated.
Scope Sterilizer: Scope sterilizers use a liquid chemical to sterilize immersible scopes that
cannot withstand high temperature sterilization. These sterilizers require electric and plumbing.
Units can be either mobile or counter mounted.

Net and Departmental Gross Area
Net Area (Net Square Feet, NSF; or Net Square Meters, NSM) is the actual floor area in a room
or functional area (finish to finish) that can be used by people, furnishings, or equipment.
Department Gross Square Feet (DGSF) includes, in addition to the Net Area, partitions and
circulation internal to the functional area of the department. The net to department gross factor
(NTDG factor) adopted by VA for SPD is 1.30. The 1.30 factor anticipates that the internal
circulation must be added to connect functional areas and individual rooms.

Introduction The Design Guide Plates included with this publication are intended as general representations
of typical furniture, equipment, functional and personnel space needs. The Design Guide Plates
were developed as a design tool to assist the Project Team in understanding the choices to be
made during design, and to assist designers in understanding VA’s functional requirements for
the Supply Processing & Distribution Department. The Guide Plates are not intended to be
project specific and are not meant to limit design opportunities.
While plates are provided for a majority of spaces required in the Supply, Processing &
Distribution Department, it is not possible to foresee all possible variations or future
requirements. The project-specific space program shall be used as the basis for individual
project design.
In all cases the Guide Plates must be reviewed against project criteria and any special
requirements. Users shall refer to other VA criteria and standards (listed in Section 1) when
information is either too detailed or too broad to be included in the Guide Plates. Equipment
requirements and technologies are continually evolving. Equipment manufacturers shall be
consulted for actual dimensions and utility requirements.
See Section 5 for a cross reference to the Room Names and SEPS designations used in
Chapter 285 of the Space Criteria.

CONTENTS – SECTION 5
Supply, Processing & Distribution
February 2010
Glossary of Terms AERATOR: A machine designed to speed up the removal of EtO residues from sterilized items by
subjecting them to warm, circulating air.
BIOBURDEN: Population of viable microorganisms on a product and/or a package.
CENTRAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT: Department within a health care facility that processes, issues, and
controls medical supplies, devices, and equipment, both sterile and non-sterile, for some or all patient
care areas of the facility. Also known as STERILE PROCESSING DEPARTMENT.
CLEANING: The physical removal of debris. It has two major effects. First, it results in a reduction in the
number of microorganisms present. Second, it removes organic matter, such as blood and tissue, and
other debris, which may interfere with sterilization or disinfection.
DECASING / BREAKOUT AREA or SPACE: Unpacking area or space where products are removed from
their external shipping containers before being taken into the preparation and packaging area or the
sterile storage area.
DECONTAMINATION: According to OSHA, “the use of physical or chemical means to remove, inactivate,
or destroy blood-borne pathogens on a surface or item to the point where they are no longer capable of
transmitting infectious particles and the surface item is rendered safe for handling, use, or disposal.” [29
CFR 1910.1030].
DISINFECTION: Process that kills pathogenic and other microorganisms by physical or chemical means.
DISINFECTION, HIGH LEVEL: Process that kills all microbial organisms but not necessarily large
numbers of bacterial spores.
DISINFECTION, INTERMEDIATE LEVEL: Process that kills viruses, mycobacteria, fungi, and vegetative
bacteria, but not necessarily bacterial spores.
ETHYLENE OXIDE GAS STERILIZER (EtO): Sterilization at relatively low temperatures possible with
ethylene oxide gas. Using a heated unit at 49C (120F), sterilization can be achieved in 2 - 3 hours.
NONRESTRICTED AREA: Area where traffic is not limited and where attire is not prescribed.
OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD: Contact, through inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, or absorption, with a
potentially hazardous material during the course of employment. Occupational exposure to hazardous
materials, including chemical and biological agents and potentially infectious materials, is regulated by
OSHA (29 CFR Part 1910).
OSHA: Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE): According to OSHA, “specialized clothing or equipment
worn by an employee for protection against a hazard. General work clothes (e.g., uniforms, pants, shirts,
or blouses) not intended to function as protection against a hazard are not considered to be personal
protective equipment.” [29 CFR 1910.1030].
APPENDIX
SECTION 5-1
Supply, Processing & Distribution
February 2010
PLASMA GAS STERILIZATION (STERRAD): To sterilize an item that cannot be sterilized by steam and
have been validated to be sterilized by plasma gas. Plasma gas is not a replacement for EtO as it has
many limitations as to what can be sterilized by this method due to absorption and lumen limitations.
PRIMARY STOCK: Medical supplies stored within the confines of the SPD Department
PROCESSING AREA: Area of a health care facility in which decontaminated, clean instruments, and
other medical and surgical supplies are inspected, assembled into sets and trays, and wrapped,
packaged, or placed into rigid sterilization container systems for subsequent sterilization. Note - This
area is commonly referred to as the “preparation and packaging area” if it is part of Central Service and
as a “pack room” if textile packs are assembled there.
RESTRICTED AREA: Area where access and traffic are limited to authorized personnel and where attire
might be prescribed.
REUSABLE MEDICAL DEVICE: Device intended for repeated use on different patients, with appropriate
decontamination and other processing between uses.
SECONDARY STOCK: Medical supplies stored in user areas such as wards, clinics, nursing care units,
and intensive care units.
STEAM STERILIZATION: Sterilization process that uses saturated steam under pressure, for a specified
exposure time and at a specified temperature, as the sterilizing agent.
STERILE: Free from viable microorganisms.
STERILE STORAGE AREA: Area of a health care facility designed to store clean and sterile items and
protect them from contamination.
STERILIZATION: Validated process used to render a product free from viable microorganisms. Note - In
a sterilization process, the nature of microbiological inactivation is described by an exponential function.
Therefore, the presence of a viable microorganism on any individual item can be expressed in terms of
probability. While the probability can be reduced to a very low number, it can never be reduced to zero.
STERILIZATION AREA: Area of a health care facility where sterilization activities take place.
STERILIZER, STEAM: Sterilizer that uses saturated steam under pressure as the sterilant.
