The construction of biological monitoring sampling indicators for cleaning and disinfection quality of soft endoscopes
Objective To establish a biological monitoring and sampling index system for cleaning and disinfection quality of soft endo-scopes,provide a reliable basis for comprehensive and scientific evaluation of endoscopic reprocessing quality in clinical practice.Methods A pool of indicators for biological monitoring of soft endoscopy cleaning and disinfection quality was established by literature method,two rounds of experts consultation were completed to determine the indicators by Delphi method,and the weights of the indicators were determined by hi-erarchical analysis method.Results A total of two rounds of expert consultation were conducted,and the effective recovery rates of question-naires were 100%and 96.67%,with expert authority coefficients of 0.874 and 0.928,and Kendall's harmony coefficients ranging from 0.139 to 0.240(all P<0.001).The constructed indicators included 7 level Ⅰ indicators and 29 level Ⅱ indicators.Conclusion Through the literature analysis method,Delphi method and hierarchical analysis method,scientific and rigorous indicators of sampling link for biological monitoring of soft endoscopic cleaning and disinfection quality are constructed,which can evaluate the quality of endoscopic reprocessing in a more comprehensive way,and can be used as a reference for clinical endoscopic decontamination and disinfection quality monitoring.
