The Role of Endoscope Diagnosis and Treatment Center Traceability System in Quality Control of Endoscope Cleaning
Abstract
As the cornerstone of sterile instrument maintenance in endoscopy centers, the quality of endoscope cleaning directly impacts hospital infection control effectiveness. The traceability system for endoscopy centers utilizes digital means to document the entire cleaning process, enabling real-time monitoring and precise quality control. This paper analyzes current quality control practices in endoscope cleaning and addresses existing challenges. It explores how traceability systems standardize procedures, enhance monitoring, and improve management efficiency. The study proposes optimization strategies for traceability system implementation, clarifying its core value in endoscope cleaning quality control. These findings provide theoretical foundations and practical guidance for hospitals to refine management of endoscopy centers, ensure diagnostic safety, and reduce infection risks, ultimately advancing endoscope cleaning quality control toward standardized and informatized development.
