Application of Plasma Sterilization System in Operating Room / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of plasma sterilization system,observe and comprehend the(methods) and mechanisms of plasma sterilization.METHODS In application of plasma(sterilization) system,the(sterilization) processes were observed.The efficacy of this new system was shown by a biological test and chemical test.Comparative observation was conducted on the effective use time of wire of high-frequency electrode that had been sterilized in plasma sterilization system and Formalin smoke respectively.RESULTS The instrument that had been sterilized in plasma sterilization system all passed the tests and could be used immediately,manipulation of(plasma)(sterilization) system was easy,the effective use times of electrode′s wire were extended.CONCLUSIONS Plasma sterilization system can achieve effective sterilization with low(humidity),and no-toxicity.With shorter sterilization cycle time and lesser damage to surgery instruments,this new system improves the margin of safety and reduces(processing) costs.
