Abstract

In order to improve the stability of cleaning and disinfection quality of soft endoscopes, a full process quality control system was established starting from important operational links such as pre-treatment, manual brushing, disinfection, and final drying, and the implementation effect was evaluated. The results indicate that the cleaning qualification rate, disinfection compliance rate, operation specification execution rate, and record completeness rate have all been improved after the operation of the system, with minimal process fluctuations. Research shows that a quality monitoring system centered on controlling key operational behaviors can improve the quality management level of cleaning and disinfection of soft endoscopes.
