Abstract:Objective To explore the feasibility of applying PDCA cycle management method to control the failure rate of hightemperature
steam sterilizer in the disinfection supply center of our hospital. Methods The failure rate of sterilizer in disinfection
supply center was analyzed by PDCA cycle management. Meanwhile, continuous improvement was made from the deficiencies of
equipment, personnel, environment and materials, management and methods. Results After first round application of PDCA cycle
management method, the sterilizer failure rate decreased from 1.21% in 2015 to 0.44% in 2016 (c2=49.79, P<0.01). After secend
round application of PDCA cycle management method, the sterilizer failure rate decreased from 0.44% in 2016 to 0.23% in 2017
(c2=9.79, P<0.01). Conclusion The application of PDCA cycle management method significantly decreased sterilizer failure rate in
our central sterile supply department.
