Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the efficientcy of washing and sterilization methods for the endoscopic cell brush. METHODS The contaminated cell brush with the mixture of Bacillus subtilis var.niger spore and blood was washed by four methods:manually washing,multienzyme plus manually washing,ultrasonic cleaner washing,and multienzyme plus ultrasonic cleaner washing,and then dipped in glutaraldehyde for 5 h or 10 h,fumigated with glutaraldehyde for 5 h,and sterilized with 3M ethylene oxide box.The positive rates of occult blood test(OB test),the cleaning rates of B.subtilis var.niger spore and the sterilization eligibility ratio of four serilization methods were compared. RESULTS The washing method that multienzyme plus ultrasonic cleaner washing could clear effectively the contaminated cell brush that the positive rates of OB test was 0 and the cleaning rates of B.subtilis var.niger spore was 99.90%.The positive rates of OB test and the cleaning rates of B.subtilis var.niger spore of manually washing was 56.67% and 90.87%.Fumigated in 3M ethylene oxide box or dipped in glutaraldehyde for 10 h could kill all the spores,but dipped in glutaraldehyde for 5 h or fumigated with glutaraldehyde for 5 h could not. CONCLUSIONS The mixed contaminated endoscopic cell brush should be washed effectively by multienzyme+ ultrasonic cleaner washing,and should be sterilized by fumigated in ethylene oxide box or dipped in glutaraldehyde for 10 h.
