were all negative for enteropathogenic organisms including Salmonella and Shigella.
2) HBsAg tests were done for 96 laboratory technicians and 50 central service
employees and positive results were observed in 2 laboratory technicians.
3) Periodical biological monitoring of sterilizers was done, using commercial bacterial
spore strips. Positive culture was obtained in 2 out of 51 tests for 3 Steam sterilizers
and in 4 out of 14 tests for one ethylene oxide gas sterilizer.
4) Product sampling and culture were done for 7 kinds of commercial infusion fluids, 2
kinds of disinfectants and 14 sets of various operation Packages or dressing materials
and positive culture was obtained in one disinfectant.
