Sampling and inspection methods
A.1 Sampling and inspection principle
A.1.1 The samples shall be tested for corresponding indicators as soon as
possible after sampling. The time for submission of testing shall not exceed 4h.
If the sample is stored at 0??C~4??C, the i time for submission of testing shall not
exceed 24h.
A.1.2 It is not recommended that hospitals routinely carry out sterility
inspections of sterilized items. When epidemiological investigations suspect
that nosocomial infections are related to sterilized items, perform a sterility
inspection of the corresponding items. Routine supervision and inspection may
not be tested for pathogenic microorganisms. When involving a suspected
nosocomial infection outbreak, investigation of a nosocomial infection outbreak,
or suspected microbial contamination at work, target microorganisms shall be
tested.
A.1.3 The verified on-site rapid detection instrument can be used to monitor
and screen the environment, surface and other microbial contamination and the
cleanliness of medical device/items. It can also be used for inspection of
hospital cleaning effect and cleaning procedure evaluation and verification.
A.2 Inspection method for air microbial pollution
A.2.1 Sampling time
Conduct sampling in Class I environment after self-cleaning of the clean system
and before engaging in medical activities. Conduct sampling in II, III and IV
environments after disinfection or prescribed ventilation and before engaging in
medical activities.
A.2.2 Testing methods
A.2.2.1 Panel exposure method and air sampler method can be selected for
class I environment. Refer to requirements of GB 50333 "Architectural technical
code for hospital clean operating department" for testing. Level-six impact air
sampler or other verified air samplers can be chosen for air sampler method.
Place the sampler in the center of the room at a height of 0.8 m~1.5 m during
testing. Operate according to the sampler instruction manual. Each sampling
time shall not exceed 30min. For rooms larger than 10m2, add a sampling point
A.5 Inspection method for medical device/items
A.5.1 Sampling time
After disinfection or sterilization, conduct sampling during storage period.
A.5.2 Inspection method for sterilized medical device/items
A.5.2.1 Samples that can be sampled by destructive methods, such as
disposable infusion (blood) devices, syringes, and injection needles, shall be
conducted in accordance with the "Sterile Inspection Method" in the
Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. For medical device/items
that cannot be sampled by destructive methods, it shall be in a one-way air area
or an isolation system with a local cleanliness of level 100 and an environmental
cleanliness of level 10000. Use a cotton swab soaked with sterile saline
sampling solution to apply on the surface of the test object. Take the whole
surface or not less than 100cm2 for sampling. Then take the cotton swab of
which the hand contact part is removed for sterility inspection.
A.5.2.2 Dental mobile phone: It shall be in a one-way air area or an isolation
system with a local cleanliness of level 100 and an environmental cleanliness
of level 10000. Put each mobile phone in a sterile large test tube (inner diameter
is 25mm) containing 20mL~25mL of sampling solution. The height of the liquid
level shall be greater than 4.0cm. Wash and shake on a vortex mixer for more
than 30s. Take the eluate for sterility inspection.
A.5.3 Inspection method for disinfection medical device/items
A.5.3.1 If the whole piece can be put into a sterile test tube, oscillate for more
than 30s after immersion in eluent. Take 1.0 mL of eluate to inoculate into a
petri dish. Pour 15mL~20mL of molten nutrient agar medium cooled to
40??C~45??C per dish. Inoculate in 36??C??1??C incubator for 48h. Count the
number of colonies (CFU/piece). Separate pathogenic microorganisms when
necessary.
A.5.3.2 For those can be sampled by destructive method, weigh 1g~10g of
sample on a level-100 ultra-clean workbench. Put it into a test tube containing
10mL of sample solution for elution. Take 1.0mL of eluate to inoculate into a
petri dish. Count the number of colonies (CFU/g). Separate pathogenic
microorganisms when necessary. For medical device/items that cannot be
sampled by destructive method, on the level-100 ultra-clean workbench, use a
cotton swab soaked with sterile saline sampling solution to apply on the surface
of the object to be sampled. When the sampled surface is < 100cm2, take the

A.8.3 Inspection method for irradiance value of in-use UV lamp
A.8.3.1 Instrument method. After turning on the UV lamp for 5min, place the UV
radiometer probe with a measuring wavelength of 253.7nm at the center of the
tested UV lamp at a vertical distance of 1m. After the meter is stable, the data
shown is the irradiance value of the ultraviolet lamp.
