Objective: To investigate the influence of continuous quality improvement on Criterion of management of loaner instrument and implants in central sterile supply department. Methods: By optimizing the processing flow of loaner instrument and implants, the first data after optimizing the advance release rate and the eligibility rate of disassembly of instruments were compared with those after optimizing year by year. In order to implement the management of cleaning and disinfection of loaner instrument and implants and the first sterilization verification, the accuracy rate of knee joint surface replacement kits was compared before and after implementation. Results: After continuous quality improvement persistently, the first data after optimizing the early release rate, instrument disassembly and the accuracy rate of knee joint surface replacement kits were increase/decrease significantly (P < 0.05). After operation, the cleaning and disinfection management and first sterilization effect verification achieved expected efficiency. Conclusion: The application of continuous quality improvement in the management of loaner instrument and implants has achieved satisfactory results and improved the management level of loaner instrument and implants.
