| Core Tip |
Precleaning is a key step in endoscopic reprocessing, but related studies on the matter are few. In the present study, we evaluated the role of a self-developed disposable endoscope bedside precleaning kit for endoscopic cleaning. We compared the cleaning effects between the disposable precleaning kit and traditional precleaning buckets in five endoscopy units and found that the precleaning kit has advantages in the precleaning stage. Its better precleaning effect can improve the effectiveness of the subsequent reprocessing procedures. Meanwhile, the cleaning solution used in the precleaning and manual cleaning stages was reduced, suggesting a significant cost advantage in the clinical practice. |
