Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONWhen special tests designed to register or validate a disinfection process

3、 currently are used, theprocedures, their statistical considerations (usually all negatives at a given time point), and thephysical problems of applying organisms to surfaces, such as sutures and unglazed porcelain carriers,may cause inaccurate and confusing results. Practical, in-use testing of rep

This test method is designed to incorporate several elements ofreprocessing, including cleaning, rinsing, and disinfection (including optional treatment

6、of the internalchannels of devices, such as endoscopes) with a terminal alcohol rinse rather than examining only theeffectiveness of the entire disinfection process. A simulated-use test to examine the effectiveness ofreprocessing procedures is valuable because several incidents of contamination of

7、instruments in usehave been recorded with vegetative cells of bacteria, for example, Pseudomonas and the mycobacteria.When this procedure is performed with a representative mycobacterial culture, it is necessary to usea nonpathogenic strain such as Mycobacterium terrae (isolated from soil) that can

This strain is used in tuberculocidal testing in Europe, and published informationshows comparable resistance to antimicrobials as that displayed by human tuberculosis strains ofMycobacterium tuberculosis. This organism can be handled easily and grows faster than othe

9、r teststrains, such as M. bovis (1-5).2Because contamination of the surfaces of instruments has occurred from rinsing with tap water,bacteria-free water should be used for all rinsing during reprocessing in this test procedure when awater rinse step is part of the reprocessing directions.1. Scope1.1

10、 This test method is intended to describe a procedure fortesting the effectiveness of a disinfection process for reprocess-ing reusable medical devices when it is tested with a challengeof vegetative cells including mycobacteria. Disinfection nor-mally deals with testing activity against vegetative

11、cells ofbacteria, viruses, and fungi. Since this test method is processoriented, the user may wish to examine a variety of testorganisms.1.2 This test method is designed to provide a reproducibleprocedure to verify the effectiveness of a previously validateddisinfectant or disinfection procedure for

12、 reusable medicalinstruments and devices.1.3 This test method is not meant to define the effectivenessof or validation of the particular disinfection process used or itskinetics, but rather, it is devised to confirm the effectiveness ofthe disinfection process by simulating use situations with apart

United States11.4 This test method is intended for use with reusablecleaned and previously sterilized or disinfected (high level)medical instruments and devices. Endoscopes are described inthis test method as a wor

The selected sterilization or disinfection processes,or both, should have been validated previously, as well as theeffectiveness of rinsing for residual sterilant/disinfectant re-moval determined.1.5 An inoculum with high numbers of selected microor-gan

Elution of organismsfrom the inoculated surfaces, the

Immersion canbe used for smaller instruments.1.7 Control instruments are inoculated in the same manneras the test instruments and elution or immersion methods areperformed to determine the number of organisms recoverablefrom th

20、e instrument. For channeled devices, such as endo-scopes testing, the number of organisms recoverable from theinstrument (inside and outside) will serve as the initial controlcount. It is expected that some fraction of the number oforganisms inoculated will be lost in the process of inoculation/dryi

34、.1 This test method is performed by contamination ofaccessible, interior, and exterior surfaces of instruments ordevices intending to reach the sites identified as the leastac-cessible or most difficult to reach sites.4.2 The number of microorganisms contaminating the testinstruments or devices prio

35、r to processing is determined bycontamination and elution of at least two control unprocessedunits (representing a large complex instrument). More controlunits of smaller instruments may be used. Contamination withan inoculum with high numbers of microorganisms to achieveat least 106cfu/instrument,

36、recoverable is required.4.3 After inoculation, the test instrument(s) are processedaccording to the manufacturers instructions for use of thereprocessing cycle, the disinfectant, or disinfector. Either thedisinfectant, disinfector cycle alone, or the disinfectant (disin-fector) cycle plus any cleani

37、ng, rinsing, or other contributorysteps in the directions for use, may be tested.4.4 Following processing, the test instruments are sampledusing specified elution and culture techniques to determine thenumber of surviving bacteria in colony forming units (cfu).5.
