Abstract：Objective To evaluate the application effect of a field-portable integrated device for preprocessing,cleaning,disinfection and transportation of reusable surgical instrument.Methods A reusable surgical instrument disin-fection device with preprocessing,cleaning and disinfection functions was designed,50 postoperative instrument packs from a hospital from January to May 2024 were randomly selected,with a total of 4 491 instruments,the instruments were divided into the control group(n=2 156)and the experimental group(n=2 335)according to the random number table method.The control group used traditional processes to handle surgical instruments,while the experimental group uesd the portable integrated device to reprocess surgical instruments.The collection and preprocessing time,cleaning pass rate and rust rate of instruments between the two groups were compared.Results The collection and preprocessing time of instrument recycling in the experimental group was(41.88±1.20)min,which was significantly lower than(47.12±1.72)min in the control group(P＜0.001);there was no statistically significant difference in the cleaning pass rate of de-vices between the two groups(P=0.945);while the instrument rusting rate in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(3.21％vs.4.45％)(P＜0.05).Conclusion This portable integrated device can be used to collection,cleaning and disinfection of surgical instruments in both field and hospital settings,which can improve the collection efficiency,reduce the workload of the recovery personnel,and has strong practicality and applicability,making it worthy of promotion.
