Title: Effect of caviwipe disinfectants on disinfection of health examination instruments
Abstract: OBJECTIVE To discuss the disinfection effect of caviwipes on stethoscope,B ultrasound probe and breast infrared probe that were used in health examination.METHODS According to the Disinfection Technical Specification,the samples were collected from stethoscope,B ultrsound probe,and breast infrared probe.The instruments were respectively disinfected with caviwipes,75% ethanol,and 500mg/L chlorine-containing.After three different ways of disinfection for 5,10,20,and 30 case-times,the instruments were sampled,the bacteriological detection was performed,and the statistical analysis of the disinfection effect was carried out.RESULTS The positive rate of the bacteria sampled from the instrument was 100.00%before the disinfection.The sterilization rates were all over 99.78%after the disinfection;after the instruments were used for 5,10,20,and 30case-times,the disinfection effect of caviwipes was similar to 500mg/L chlorine-containing,the difference was not significant;the disinfection effect of caviwipes was superior to 75.00%ethanol,the difference was significant.CONCLUSIONCaviwipes and 500mg/L chlorine-containing have good disinfection effect on the health examination instruments.Caviwipes is simple to use,compared with the 500mg/L chlorine-containing,it is harmless to the test instruments,without adverse reaction to human.
