Introduction: Rapid Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) testing is becoming a commonly used method to measure cleanliness on reusable medical devices and healthcare environmental surfaces. Unfortunately, ATP testing devices suffer from inherent variability from a number of sources including imprecision in ATP measurement. Method: This paper proposes a new sampling algorithm which reduces the impact of inherent variability and thus improves decision making when using ATP testing. Conclusion: This algorithm can be applied across a variety of applications to provide more reliable data on measurable cleanliness standards for both medical devices and environmental surfaces. Formal trials using the new ATP sampling algorithm are required. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control.
