Study on the safety of drying manners in reprocessing process of digestive endoscopes
Objective To explore the safety of drying methods employed in the re-treatment process of digestive endoscopes.Methods The safety of drying method during reprocessing in a hospital were evaluated by using instrument method and microbial culture method.Results A number of water droplets in the biopsy channel of endoscopes in manual clean group was more than that in automatic clean machine group.In experimental group,endoscopes were dried using an air gun until no moisture remained,while in the control group the air gun was utilized for a duration of 30 s.Biological testing with 4 h after drying revealed that both methods met all required standards.The qualified rate of the biological detection was 95%for both methods 8 hours post-treatment.Conclusion The air gun drying for 30 s can meet the requirements,and the drying effect with the automatic cleaning process is better than with manual cleaning.
