The disinfection method of anesthesia machines and ventilators needs to comprehensively consider factors such as the material of the equipment, disinfection effect, ease of operation and safety.
- Common disinfection methods：
1.1 Chemical disinfection: It is relatively simple to use disinfectants (such as chlorine-containing disinfectants, peracetic acid, compound alcohol disinfectants, etc.) to soak or wipe the anesthesia machine and ventilator for disinfection. But disinfectants may corrode the equipment material, and the residue may cause secondary harm to the patient. In addition, chemical disinfection requires manual operation, and there is a risk of incomplete disinfection due to improper operation.
1.2 Thermal disinfection: For example, high-pressure steam sterilization can effectively kill various microorganisms, including spores and viruses.But it is not suitable for all equipment parts, especially electronic components and synthetic rubber parts, which may be damaged or aged by high temperatures.
1.3 Ultraviolet disinfection: It is no chemical residue and environmentally friendly. But UV rays have limited penetration and may not be able to thoroughly disinfect hidden areas inside the equipment. In addition, UV rays are harmful to the human body and require a strictly controlled operating environment.
- Modern disinfection methods: Anesthesia breathing circuit disinfection machine.Its advantages are as follows.
2.1 Highly efficient disinfection: The anesthesia breathing circuit disinfector uses disinfection factors such as ozone and compound alcohol to completely kill various pathogenic microorganisms inside the anesthesia machine and ventilator, effectively reducing the risk of cross infection.
2.2 Convenient Operation :The disinfection machine is simple in design and easy to operate. Users only need to follow the instructions to complete the disinfection process. This greatly reduces the burden on medical staff and improves work efficiency.
2.3 Safety and environmental protection:The ozone emission concentration of the anesthesia breathing circuit disinfector is low, far below the maximum allowable concentration stipulated by the state, ensuring the safety of operators. At the same time, disinfectants such as compound alcohols are non-corrosive and environmentally friendly.
2.4 Intelligent Management: Some advanced anesthesia breathing circuit disinfection machines are also equipped with intelligent management systems that can automatically record the disinfection process and data, making it easier for hospitals to conduct quality management and traceability.
2.5 Wide applicability: The anesthesia breathing circuit disinfector is not only suitable for the internal circuit disinfection of anesthesia machines and ventilators, but can also effectively disinfect the surfaces in other pipeline cavities. This multi-functional feature of the disinfector makes it widely used in the disinfection of medical equipment.
