使用现场处理包括将复用医疗器械 (RMD) 运送到再处理部门或灭菌部门之前,在使用现场执行的所有操作。
使用现场和再处理服务部门可能位于不同的位置(在或不在同一建筑物内)。再处理部门的工作人员不一定属于医疗机构的雇员(例如,在服务外包的情况下)
使用现场操作人员穿戴合适的防护设备,并且 意识到锐器伤害的风险,并知道在发生事故时应采取的措施, |
使用现场处理的主要目标是:
当污渍干凅时,会粘在器械上变得难以去除,后续的清洁会更加困难。 管腔可能会被有机物堵塞。 必须避免没有经过处理的RMD过夜或放置一个周末。 长时间的延误处理会让微生物形成保护层促使生物膜的形成,导致常规清洁程序无法去除。 血液、体液和生理盐水具有很强的腐蚀性,会导致器械出现点状腐蚀。 |
将RMD 安全地放置在运输容器中,以避免在运输过程中移动和损坏。 特别注意易碎物品。 锐器需分开放置。 闭合运输容器。 容器带有明确的指示,表明所装的物品具有生物危害性。 生物危害的指示符号由当地法规规定。 如果运输容器的外部有明显污渍,在运输前首先对其进行仔细地清洁去污。 |
使用现场处理操作按照 RMD 制造商的 IFU 执行。
将RMD 安全地放置在运输容器中,以避免在运输过程中移动和损坏。 特别注意易碎物品。 锐器需分开放置。 闭合运输容器。 容器带有明确的指示,表明所装的物品具有生物危害性。 生物危害的指示符号由当地法规规定。 如果运输容器的外部有明显污渍,在运输前首先对其进行仔细地清洁去污。 |
清洁和消毒配方符合相应法规和国际标准的要求。 避免如干热或醛类化学剂导致凝固后果。 在专门的水槽中进行浸泡。 溶液浓度和暴露时间取决于制造商的 IFU。 使用中溶液的更换按照当地指南进行。(在处理每一个患者使用过的器械之后,每 24 小时或当溶液出现明显可见污渍时)。 当运送器械到灭菌部门的时间需要很长时(例如在周末或过夜),一些当地指南可能会推荐在使用现场进行自动化预处理措施。 |
充分保护易碎的 RMD,免受运输人员换班的影响。 微创器械和内窥镜可能需要定位装置。 光学部件放置在专门容器中。 锐器被分隔在容器内 重器械在底部,轻的精密器械在上部。 器械托盘不超载。 容器的大小应避免软式器械过度弯曲。 |
使用现场处理标准操作程序 (SOP) 是根据质量管理原则, 与手术部和医疗诊疗科室合作制定。

“The WFHSS executive committee is pleased to put the WFHSS Guidelines at your disposal.
They have been written for all the professionals working directly or indirectly in the field of the reprocessing of Reusable Medical Devices (RMD) used in Health Care facilities.
They are the result of a consensus from a review of national practices, standards, regulations.
They are intended to provide guidance and the state of the art recommendations from an academic world society focused on science but their purpose is not to supersede local regulation, standards or guidelines.
They will be updated regularly to follow the evolution of the science and the evolution of the RMD and the technologies.
Your feedback is essential to contribute to the improvement of the Guidelines , feel free to use the form to send your comments or suggestions.
We wish you interesting reading!

For the present guidlelines reusable medical device (RMD) means:
The reprocessing of single use medical device is outside the scope of theses guidelines.
Medical device regulations vary between regions. Some items may not be registered as medical devices in some regions.
Sterilization is intended to renders the reusable medical device free from viable microorganisms. Sterilization is implemented on a clean RMD. Most common Sterilization process is steam. Low temperature sterilization processes are available for heat sensitive RMD
Disinfection :
Process to reduce the number of viable microorganisms to a level previously specified as being appropriate for a defined purpose (ISO 11139 : 2018)
Cleaning :
Removal of contaminants to the extent necessary for its further processing or for intended use (ISO 11139 : 2018)
Other definition: The first step required to physically remove contamination by foreign material, e.g. dust soil. It will also remove organic material such as blood, secretion, excretion and microorganisms, to prepare a medical device for sterilization or disinfection (WHO : 2016)
Cleaning may be combined to disinfection in cleaning & disinfections processes (for instance in automated washer-disinfectors)
Sterilization :
Process used to render product free from viable microorganisms (ISO 11139 : 2018)
Reusable Medical device (RMD)
Medical devices wich are not single use i.e. which can be reused under appropriate reprocessing conditions, for an undelimited number of time or for a predetermined number of use.
