Eighty-nine ophthalmologists in the Dallas-Fort Worth area were surveyed to find the methods used to sterilize applanation tonometer tips. Sixteen different methods were in use, with the most popular being alcohol wipes (26%) and diluted sodium hypochlorite soak (23%). Six of the most frequently used sterilization techniques were evaluated for removal of type 8 adenovirus applied to sterile tonometer tips. Adenovirus was removed or inactivated from applanation tonometer tip surfaces by using one of the following techniques: soaking inoculated tips for 15 minutes in diluted sodium hypochlorite (1:10 household bleach), 3% hydrogen peroxide, or 70% isopropyl alcohol; or wiping with alcohol "prep pads", 1:1000 merthiolate, or dry tissues.
为了找出用于消毒压平眼压计探头的方法,对达拉斯-沃思堡地区的89名眼科医生进行了调查。他们使用了16种不同的方法,其中最常用的是酒精擦拭(26%)和稀释次氯酸钠浸泡(23%)。对六种最常用的消毒技术进行了评估,以检测其对涂抹于无菌眼压计探头上的8型腺病毒的去除效果。通过以下技术之一可从压平眼压计探头表面去除或灭活腺病毒:将接种后的探头在稀释次氯酸钠(1:10家用漂白剂)、3%过氧化氢或70%异丙醇中浸泡15分钟;或用酒精“消毒垫”、1:1000硫柳汞或干纸巾擦拭。
