Résumé
Perioperative and sterile processing department personnel commonly use visual inspection to validate surgical instrument cleanliness. This validation process does not detect microbes (eg, bacteria, viruses) and the resultant inadequately decontaminated instruments can put patients at risk for developing surgical site infections. Sterile processing department personnel should use a rapid, straightforward method to validate surgical instrument cleanliness objectively. During a quality improvement project at a military treatment facility, staff members found that adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-based technology was a viable and affordable solution for detecting bioburden and validating cleaning practices. The project design compared manually and mechanically cleaned cannulated instruments (59 of each) and identified 16 contaminated instruments, 14 of which had been manually cleaned. The contamination rate after mechanical cleaning was significantly lower (P = .0022) compared with manual cleaning. As a result of this quality improvement project, this facility fully implemented the technology to validate instrument cleaning.
