Trop Doct. 2023 Dec 17:494755231217322. doi: 10.1177/00494755231217322. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe quality of sterilisation and disinfection in a central sterile supply department is directly related to the quality of the hospital services and the patients' safety. Wet packs occasionally occur following the process of pressure steam sterilisation; reducing this occurrence is an important issue. Therefore, the causes of wet pack following sterilisation were analysed to identify the influencing factors and suggest improvements to prevent its occurrence. Understanding the sterilisation process and possible causes of exposure helps with risk assessment and identifying necessary corrective measures.PMID:38105600 | DOI:10.1177/00494755231217322
