Comparative Double-Blind Study of Efficacy of Pre-Cleaners for Surgical Instruments and Medical Devices in the Central Sterile Services Department

Description

Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) is one of the important supportive services in the hospital which ensures an infection-free atmosphere1. The cleaning and dissolving of blood stains to clean and remove blood stains were currently divided into two types: pre-cleaning spray and pre-cleaning spray foam. Several research and clinical studies have assessed reprocessing-related issues in pre-cleaning and reusable devices such as surgical instruments, anesthetic devices, and endoscopes2,3. Therefore, cleaning is the first step to dispersing blood stains on the apparatus and is essential to promote a more efficient cleaning procedure in various rinsing methods. This research aimed to compare the efficacy of pre-cleaning spray and pre-cleaning spray foam cleaners for blood-contaminated surgical instruments and medical devices. In addition, there was a double-blind comparative study on the use of each type of detergent.
