Abstract
When the poor sterilization happened, it is necessary to recall the items as soon as possible. Although immediate recall is important in the view of risk management, there has been few reports about the actual conditions in case of recalls. On recalls, several problems are expected to happen, such as the place to be recalled, prediction of poorly sterilized items, cooperation among the relevant sections and present condition of recalls.
Concerning these backgrounds, we practiced a case of recall assuming that a bad sterilization happened. After that practice, it has become possible to analyse the present condition of the reclamation of the instruments. It has also become possible to make the data to rise up the level of sterilization.
The necessity of the investigation of the sterilization process and the assurance for sterilization was strongly realized, in order to supply properly the reclamation instruments at clinical scene properly.
