Radioactive tracers in the assessment of cleaning of surgical appliances

  • 1. Dudley Road Hospital, Birmingham (UK)

Description

Radioactive tracers which may be used in the assessment of cleaning of surgical appliances are described. Five labelled compounds were used as soiling material and tested in the rather severe conditions that exist during cleaning cycles. Measurements of decontamination in two cases were considered reliable but in the other three some degree of decomposition of the soil occurred, which falsified the results. (author)
