Application of Continuous Quality Improvement in Manual Cleaning of Fine Hollow Device

Objectives: The study aims to explore the effect of continuous quality improvement on manual cleaning quality of fine hollow device in hospital central sterile supply department. In terms of methods, it mainly optimize the manual cleaning process of fine hollow device as follow: Seperated cleaning basket is employed with 3% hydrogen proxide solition to clean the blood stains and organic matters in fine hollow device. And then, 90°C pure water is used to soak the fine hollow device to dissolve and clean the solidly attached bone wax in the inner side of absorption tube. And the study primarily compares the difference between the data about optimizing the manual cleaning process of fine hollow device through continuous quality improvement, the blood (stain), tissue residue, foreign body residue, bone wax from August to September in 2019, and those from October to November in 2019. Results: The quality of fine hollow device manual cleaning in reference group are improved significantly, with outstanding differences in control group (X2=59.36, P=0.000), indicating the effectiveness of the continuous improvement measures. Conclusion: The continuous quality improvement was applied to the manual cleaning of fine hollow device, and the cleaning effect was satisfactory. The removal rate of blood (stain), tissue, foreign body and bone wax of fine hollow device was improved.
