Objective: To describe the implementation of the automated traceability system in Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD). Method:
Experiment report developed between 2011 and 2014. The traceability system best suited to the profile of the institution was chosen, and its basic license
was purchased. The proper infrastructure and training were also adapted. Results: We decided to trace cases with barcodes. We began with the database;
the cases were registered, and the labels printed. After one month, three cases were registered and 81 traceable units were created; in the third month,
698 units were created; after nine months, 7,669 units were created. Of the total number of stages, 5.0% are omitted; 4.2% are corrected; and 0.8% loose
traceability owing to human error. Management is performed through reports and the discussion of results. Total implementation lasted nine months.
Conclusion: Even with the incipience of the method, this study demonstrates that the automated traceability system benefits the hospital’s CSSD.
