Adherence to professional guidelines and/or manufacturer's instructions for use regarding proper disinfection and sterilization of medical devices is crucial to preventing cross transmission of pathogens between patients. Emerging pathogens (e.g., Candida auris) and complex medical devices provide new challenges.
A search for published English articles on new disinfection and sterilization technologies was conducted by Google, Google scholar and PubMed.
Several new disinfection methods or products (e.g., electrostatic spraying, new sporicides, colorized disinfectants, "no touch" room decontamination, continuous room decontamination) and sterilization technologies (e.g., new sterilization technology for endoscopes) were identified.
These technologies should reduce patient risk.
医疗器械的正确消毒和灭菌,遵循专业指南和/或制造商的使用说明,对于防止病原体在患者之间交叉传播至关重要。新兴病原体(如耳念珠菌)和复杂的医疗器械带来了新的挑战。
通过谷歌学术、谷歌学术和 PubMed 搜索了关于新型消毒和灭菌技术的已发表英文文章。
确定了几种新型消毒方法或产品(例如静电喷雾、新型杀孢子剂、彩色消毒剂、“无接触”房间消毒、连续房间消毒)和灭菌技术(例如新型内窥镜灭菌技术)。
这些技术应该降低患者的风险。
