Reducing disinfection time and increasing the effectiveness of washing medical instruments with the help of ultrasonic salt set
With the growth of medical science and the increasing progress of human knowledge and the use of complex medical tools at all levels of treatment, the concern of doctors and infection control specialists has increased day by day to create a clean and safe environment for clients, patients and medical staff.
Although the use of steam is one of the easiest ways to sterilize medical equipment, the presence of delicate fiberoptic and plastic instruments that are easily damaged by heat, as well as the presence of numerous grooves and small holes on these instruments, which can be sterilized through Immersion in disinfectants has been eliminated, and due to the large amount of equipment that is regularly in contact with patients, employees and contaminated environments; There is always a need for a fast and easy washing system with high adaptability to various instruments and high washing accuracy in medical centers.
For all these reasons, in most recipes for washing and reprocessing medical instruments, it is recommended to use ultrasound energy through the use of ultrasonic washing machines.
Ultrasonic salt set cleaner, known as ultrasonic baths, are the best and most useful devices that use ultrasonic waves in the water environment due to the physical phenomenon of Cavitations to wash and descale tools and parts that are immersed in the tub. is used.
The physical phenomenon of cavitation is called the rapid formation and collapse of millions of small bubbles in a liquid, these bubbles are created by the high and low pressure of ultrasound waves. So that in the low pressure phase of the wave, the bubbles start to enlarge in microscopic size and in the high pressure phase, these bubbles start to burst. Millions of high energy bubbles are released from bursting and collapsing.
The energy resulting from these explosions in the liquid environment can clean any type of pollution from all parts of medical instruments and parts.
In the following, some prominent features of the ultrasonic salt set are mentioned:
Significant reduction in washing time
Complete disinfection in 5 minutes
Shortening the time the instruments are placed in washing solutions, which minimizes the risk of corrosion, darkening and damage to the instruments.
Reducing washing costs by significantly reducing the consumption of cleaning solutions and saving water and electricity
Easy and quick cleaning of all hard-to-reach areas such as holes and grooves on tools without causing mechanical damage to Abzra
Reducing manpower and increasing job security of infection control and CSR units
Washable tools in the ultrasonic salt set:
General medical tools include: Operating scissors, needle holders, scissors, tweezers, forceps, scalpels.
Microsurgery tools used in neurosurgery and eye surgeries
MIS tools such as small clamps and…
Endoscopic equipment such as valves, nooses, forceps, biopsy
Electrodes of EEG, ECG device
Dental instruments, cleaning dental molds, drills and prostheses and cleaning cement and plaster from dental tools.
Laparoscopy tool
Laboratory glassware, sampler heads, test tubes, etc.
Comparison of ultrasonic salt set with traditional salt set:
The cost of these systems is much lower than the traditional salt set systems
Reducing the washing time to about 10 minutes instead of the long washing cycle of traditional salt sets
No need for special arrangement of tools in the device
While the traditional salt set only tries to clean the parts by spraying water, the ultrasound waves will penetrate all the parts of the tool in a very short period of time and will clean all the equipment with high power in a completely uniform manner.
Less consumption of disinfectant solutions in ultrasonic saline sets compared to the amount of solutions needed in traditional saline sets
Extremely easy to install and simple to use
Replacing a simple basket, suitable for all tools, instead of the need to arrange tools in special trolleys for traditional salt sets.
How to choose a suitable ultrasonic salt set system:
Apart from the different capabilities of the devices, the size of the tools and their number determine the required size of the ultrasonic bath.
In order to avoid additional costs, it is suggested that after choosing the required size of the ultrasonic bath, always buy a larger size in order to have the foresight needed to improve the working conditions and the times when the traffic of the tools to be washed is high.
Time to use the device heater:
Time to use the device heater:
Since most disinfectants should not be heated, and given that proteins begin to coagulate at 40°C (104°F), devices without a heater or the absence of a heater when the device is intended to be used Disinfection is recommended.
However, systems with heaters or the use of the device’s heating system are recommended in cases where the goal is to clean the primary and remove waste faster from the tools.
Ultrasonic cleaner systems, using the power of ultrasound waves in the liquid environment and considering the safety of these waves for humans and the best and most accurate washing process, quickly find their place among the most important infection control devices in healthcare centers. has opened These systems are very cost-effective compared to the traditional methods of washing and disinfecting medical equipment, and most of the industrialized countries of the world use this technology to carry out the infection control process.
