Monitoring of sterilization compliance must be 100%.
Monitoring the sterilization pass rate is the percentage of instruments, equipment, items, etc., that are tested for sterilization in a medical institution or laboratory to ensure that their sterilization results meet certain standards. Although 100% sterilization pass rate is an ideal goal, but in practice, due to the influence of various factors, completely achieve 100% pass rate may face some difficulties.
1, the human factor: sterilization process, the operator's technical level and the degree of implementation of the operating specifications on the sterilization effect has an important impact. Even experienced professionals can not completely exclude the human factor caused by sterilization failure. For example, there may be operating irregularities, equipment failures, inaccurate concentration of sterilizing agent and other problems, which may all lead to the emergence of substandard pass rate.
2, equipment and process factors: sterilization process using equipment and process parameters will also have an impact on the sterilization effect. If the equipment failure or process parameters are not set properly, may lead to sterilization effect is not ideal. In addition, different types of sterilization methods, such as hot gas sterilization, autoclave sterilization, etc., the applicability and effect in different situations are not the same, so it is difficult to ensure 100% pass rate in actual operation.
3, impurities or contaminants: some items may be difficult to completely remove the pollutants or impurities, such as bacteria inside the instrument, microorganisms, blood and so on. These contaminants may have a certain impact on the effect of sterilization, especially some very small, difficult to detect microorganisms, even if the sterilization operation is in line with the standard, it is difficult to completely eliminate, resulting in the pass rate does not meet the standard.
4, external environmental factors: the external environment there are a variety of micro-organisms, such as bacteria in the air, these micro-organisms may also have a certain effect on the effect of sterilization. Although the sterilization process has taken a variety of measures to reduce the interference of the external environment on the sterilization, but completely eliminate the impact of external environmental factors is very difficult.
To achieve 100% sterilization pass rate, need to comprehensively consider and solve the above problems, and strictly implement the standard operating procedures. At the same time, the training and skills of operators need to be strengthened to ensure the accuracy and stability of equipment and process parameters, as well as comprehensive quality control and monitoring measures. Although it may be difficult to fully achieve a 100% pass rate, through sustained efforts and continuous improvement, the sterilization pass rate can be increased to ensure the safety and reliability of instruments, equipment, and articles in medical institutions and laboratories.
