Ethics approval and consent to participate

: The scope of review of the ethics committee concerns only people involved in biomedical research and related technology applications. Our study explored the effect of a sub-specialties management model in the Central Sterile Supply Department. Rates of personnel satisfaction, complaints regarding device errors, and damage of medical devices were compared between 2 models. This study only involves management, and not any sterilization or package method. Our ethics committee ruled that no formal ethics approval was required for this study.
