Abstract

Objective: To identify the factors related to the replacement of disinfection solutions of endoscopes devices. Method: A quantitative study carried out at an endoscopy service in the city of Belo Horizonte, belonging to the Brazilian National Health System, in the period from March 28, 2012 to March 20, 2013. It was carried out a documentary analysis of test records for daily monitoring of chemical disinfection processes in that particular sector. Descriptive statistics were used with frequency distribution and central trend measurements. Results: The following factors related to the replacement of the disinfecting solution of peracetic acid were identified: minimum solution concentration inferior to the required (75%), volume below the ideal amount (15%), presence of deposits and accidental solution spillage, both at 5%. The extra cost estimated on the unnecessary exchanges reached 66.6%. Conclusion: There is a prior need to review the planning and protocols of the service.
