Application of modified disposable consumables for flushing in digestive endoscopy
Objective To explore the effect of application of a modified disposable flushing consumables for sterilised water flushing in digestive endoscopy.Methods Self-comparison method was applied in this study.The traditional flushing device was used in digestive endoscopy prior to December 2019.From January 2020,a modified flushing was applied,of which sterilised flushing water was fed through a disposable flushing pipe and made it free from the reuse of the storage bottle that held the sterilised water in the traditional flushing device.The results of microbial culture,cost of consumables and time required for preparation of the flushing were compared between pre-and post-modification of the flushing device.Results The samples of flushing water before and after the device modification had both passed the microbial culture tests.With the traditional flushing,it took 2 days for collection,cleaning and re-use of a bottle after the proper sterilisation process,and the time required for assembly and disassembly of the modified flushing was about(8.15±1.42)minutes with the cost of consumables at(29.81±4.65)Yuan.While of the modified flushing with disposable consumables,the overall cost of the consumables was(8.15±1.42)Yuan,and it took about(2.00±0.22)minutes for assembly and disassembly the device.The modified flushing was simple to operate and the consumables were readily available.Conclusions The improved disposable consumables for flushing are easy and convenient to handle.They are cost effective and time saving and safe for the digestive endoscopy.
