Tap water is not sterile, and its use in home medical devices can result in infections from waterborne pathogens. However, many participants in a recent survey in the United States said tap water could safely be used for home medical devices. These results can inform communication materials to reduce the high consequence of infections.
自来水并非无菌,在家用医疗设备中使用自来水可能会导致水源性病原体感染。然而,美国最近一项调查的许多参与者表示,自来水可安全用于家用医疗设备。这些结果可以为减少感染的高后果提供信息交流材料。
