ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the environmental pollution of blood collection and supply institutions by using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and evaluate its application value. 【Methods】 Colonies of air from blood donation sites, skin puncture sites of blood donors, platelet storage boxes, platelet collection equipment, object surfaces of related experimental consumables and cuff surfaces of staff after disinfection were collected, and typical colonies after cultivation were selected for microbial identification by microbial mass spectrometry and then compared with bacteria results detected in blood components from May 2017 to May 2021. 【Results】 Aseptic growth, the number of colonies ≤4.0 CFU/ dish, and the number of colonies > 4.0 CFU/dish accounted for 21.20%, 62.20% and 16.60%, respectively. The qualified rate from high to low was platelet storage box, bacteria settling in the air of blood donation room after disinfection, platelet collection equipment, skin puncture site of blood donors after disinfection, the surface of platelet consumables and the surface of medical staff's overalls. After disinfection, the blood donors' skin puncture sites were compared with other collection sites, and the t values were 2.0371, 1.508, 2.109, 1.961 and 1.778, respectively, with no significant difference (P>0.05). Thirty cases of bacterial contamination of blood components were detected from May 2017 to May 2021, among which the detection rate of apheresis platelets was the highest, and the t values were 1.731 and 2.272, relative to the contamination frequency of erythrocytes and plasma bacteria (P>0.05), while the t value was 2.875, relative to concentrated platelets, with significant difference (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Bacterial contamination of blood components mostly come from air bacteria settling, blood donors' arms and skin after disinfection, and surfaces of related equipment and materials. Therefore, it is of clinical significance to conduct strict disinfection of working sites, establish disinfection monitoring methods and formulate disinfection hygiene standards in blood stations.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To observe the effect of hydrogen peroxide atomization sterilizer using low concentration hydrogen peroxide disinfectant on the environment and object surface of physical examination area (hereinafter referred to as " physical examination area" ) in blood centers, so as to provide a simple method which is safe, efficient, easy to operate, harmless to human body and has no corrosive effect on equipment. 【Methods】 The physical examination area was disinfected with atomized hydrogen peroxide sterilizer, and the difference of colony number between air and surface before and after disinfection was compared to evaluate the disinfection effect. 【Results】 After disinfection, the hydrogen peroxide residue was detected for 25 times at 5 points, and the results were (0.7~1)ppm, with no statistical difference (P>0.05). 25 tests were carried out at 5 points, and the quartile of the test results was (0~2)CFU/ dish, and the qualified rate was 100%. The test results of bacteria before and after disinfection were statistically significant (P<0.05), which met the requirements of Class Ⅱ environment in Hygienic Standard for Hospital Disinfection(GB15982-2012). After disinfection, the quartile of surface colony detection results of workbench, blood donor seat, screen and door handle were (0~24.1)CFU/cm2, (1.6~55.4)CFU/cm2, (0~7.2)CFU/cm2 and (0~4.8)CFU/cm2, with the qualified rate at 80%, 48%, 100% and 100%, respectively, which were in accordance with the requirements of Class Ⅲenvironment in GB15982-2012. The number of colonies after disinfection at the above detection sites decreased significantly compared with that before disinfection (P<0.05). The surface contact plate pressing method and cotton swab smearing method were used to detect the number of colonies on the surface of sterilized work tables and blood donor seats, and the detection rate of the former was higher than that of the latter, with statistical significance (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 After disinfection by hydrogen peroxide atomization sterilizer, the hydrogen peroxide residue met the requirements specified in the manual. The terminal disinfection effect of air in the physical examination area environment can meet the Class Ⅱ environmental requirements of GB15982-2012. However, the number of microorganisms on object surface after terminal disinfection was significantly lower than that before disinfection.
