Purpose: Evaluating the cleaning quality of health products by using the surface adenosine triphosphate (ATP) test in a Central Sterile Services Department. Method: It is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, conducted in a private clinic in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Twenty-six survey forms with 102 ATP tests were evaluated between May 2017 and May 2018. Results: The numbers in ATP tests in the lumened instruments vary from 55 to 206 relative luminescence units (RLU), with a mean of 124±46. In surgical instruments, results alternated between 14 and 82 RLU, with a mean of 54±28. Conclusion: ATP tests are not specific, but they suggest absence of residues in all the instruments. The conclusion is that a proper physical structure, evidence-based cleaning protocols and human and material resource management contribute to ensure the cleaning process quality.References
