ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of hospital environmental cleaning practice by fluorescence labeling method.Methods From January to February 2015,312 ward rooms in 7 hospitals were chosen,high touch object surface were labeled with fluorescence,after object surface being cleaned by cleaners,clearance rates of fluorescence labeling were calculated (as baseline survey data),training and on-site guidance for cleaners were performed(intervention measures),fluorescence labeling clearance effect before and after intervention was compared.Results A total of 110 ward rooms were performed baseline survey,the fluorescence labeling clearance rate of 2 856 touched clean surface was only 50.81％,the quantitative evaluation value was 45.70;after intervention,202 rooms were surveyed,fluorescence labeling clearance rate of 3 992 touched clean surface enhanced to 79.23 ％,the quantitative evaluation value was 76.30;there was significant difference in fluorescence labeling clearance rate between before and after intervention (x2 =612.14,P＜0.05).In the baseline survey,the clearance rates of fluorescence labeling on touched surface of medical instruments,hospital beds,and toilets were 46.07％,37.80％,and 25.20％ respectively;after intervention,the clearance rates were 80.59％,75.90％,and 51.70％,respectively.After intervention,fluorescence labeling clearance rates of beepers,toilet seat covers,toilet electrical switches,and chairs were low,the clearance rates of these touched surface in baseline survey were＜ 30％,after intervention were 47.03 ％-68.32％;the clearance rates of other high touch surface were all＞75 ％.Conclusion Fluorescence labeling method can directly reflect the operation quality of cleaners,and improve the cleanliness of ward environment,it is a simple,inexpensive and objective globally popular method for evaluating hospital environment cleanliness.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To study and develop an effervescent disinfection tablet with low chlorine smell.METHODS The specially tiny smashing technology and the high molecular complexon technology were applied to make the tablet after mixing the complex organic chlorine powder made by a special technoloy with the effervescent agent.RESULTS No chlorine was detected by examining the disinfection solution with 4000 mg/L available chlorine,but it was 0.997 mg/m3 for the symclosene(trichloroisocyanuric acid) disinfection tablet.The sterilization,toxicology,sanitary examination,etc all met the disinfectant standards made by the Ministry of Health.CONCLUSIONS "Aiershi" brand disinfection tablet is one kind of disinfectants with low chlorine smell.Its compound disinfection fluid,is without chlorine smell nearly.It is unharmful to the human body and the environment.And it highly praises by thousand hospitals using it for more than two years.It has been one of items of scientific and technological achievement of Shanghai municipal government.The use of low chlorine disinfection tablet could be expanded.
ABSTRACT
The killing effects of five chemical disinfectants on hepatitis A virus (HAV) were determined by ELISA The results showed that 2% glutaraldehyde completely killed HAV within 10 min and 025% peracetic acid killed 74.5% HAV within 5 min and 40% iodophors killed 60.3% HAV within 5 min. It is suggested that glutaraldehyde, peracetic acid and iodophors are more effective agents to kill HAV.
