We describe an observational study in which the policies and procedures of dental surgeries in 14 of the 15 Scottish prisons for sterilizing instruments were viewed directly by a trained surveyor. The survey found that several key elements in the decontamination cycle, ranging from procurement of devices, cleaning, sterilizing, testing, maintenance, quality management and training were deficient in a number of aspects. The use of a central sterile supply service may be a more cost effective approach for the provision of compliant instrument reprocessing facilities in the sites surveyed.
我们描述了一项观察性研究，在该研究中，一名经过培训的调查员直接查看了苏格兰15所监狱中14所监狱牙科手术室的器械消毒政策和程序。调查发现，去污周期中的几个关键要素，从设备采购、清洁、消毒、测试、维护、质量管理到培训，在许多方面都存在不足。对于在所调查的场所提供符合要求的器械再处理设施而言，使用中央无菌供应服务可能是一种更具成本效益的方法。
