Objective To explore the impact of quality control circle activities on the backwash rate of abdominal instruments used in disinfection supply centers. Methods A total of 300 intra-abdominal instruments were retrospectively selected from our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024. According to different management methods, they were divided into a control group (January 2022 to December 2022) and an observation group (January 2023 to January 2024), each with 150 instruments. The control group was subjected to routine management, while the observation group was subjected to quality control circle management. The cleaning effects of laparoscopic instruments were compared between the two groups. Results The cleaning quality of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the backwash rate was lower than that of the control group. In addition, the qualified rate of cleaning and disinfection of laparoscopic instruments and the satisfaction of medical staff in the observation group were higher than those in the control group. The above results showed statistically significant differences between the groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The implementation of quality control circle method for cleaning endoscope instruments in the disinfection supply center can significantly improve the cleaning quality and satisfaction of medical staff during use, reduce the occurrence of instrument backwashing, and have application value.
