Improvement research on cleaning quality control methods of surgical needles / 局解手术学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective As there are difficult problems in surgical puncture needle cleaning and cleaning effect monitoring,we are aiming at finding some reliable solutions through relevant comparative tests. Methods Lumbar puncture needle,bone puncture needle and anesthe-sia spinal needle after clinical use,80 of each kind,were randomly collected and equally divided into the experimental group and the control group. The control group was given traditional lumen surgical instruments cleaning procedure,and the experimental group was given newly cre-ated small lumen instruments manual cleaning procedures. Magnifying glass,self-made instruments monitoring and ATP bioluminescence mo-nitoring were respectively used to verify the cleaning effect. Results All needles were monitored with magnifying glass,self-made instruments monitoring and ATP bioluminescence monitoring after cleaning,and the qualified rate were 98. 33%,97. 00% and 93. 33% respectively in the experimental group while 95. 00%,83. 33% and 78. 33% respectively in the control group. Results of self-made instruments monitoring and ATP bioluminescence monitoring showed that there was no difference between the two kinds of detection methods. Conclusion Newly created small lumen instruments manual cleaning procedures and self-made instruments monitoring were of reliable effect and strong operabili-ty in terms of puncture needle cleaning and cleaning effect monitoring,and they were worthy of further research and application.
