Improvement for Safety of Used Disposable Medical Supplies / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To study the safe methods of used disposal medical supplies to provide scientific results of decision-making for the health administration. METHODS Using the methods of "standard prevention", "isolated transformation", and "unit calculation", the disposable medical supplies were safely treated in a completely-closed and entirely-programmed way without disinfecting or damaging. The efficacy of the methods was evaluated. RESULTS Form 2006 to 2007, the distribution of disposable medical supplies was 13 306.12 kg and 14 046.00kg and the retrieved quantity was 13 306.00 kg and 14 041.00kg. The improved methods of quantification solved the problem existing in distribution and retrieving of the disposable medical supplies. The safety and convenience of the whole process had been greatly improved. CONCLUSIONS Compared with destroying shapes, disinfecting and "face to face" exchange methods, the methods of using "standard prevention", "isolated transformation" and "unit calculation" are safer, more economic, and more effective.
