Abstract:
Objective:To explore effects of different loading modes of non-woven fabric and Tyvek packaging materials on degree of hydrogen peroxide adsorption and pressure during injection during low temperature plasma sterilization.Methods:From April to June 2019, 6 empty silicone resin instrument boxes were divided into two packaging methods in Disinfectant Supply Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, 3 of which were double-packed with 100 cm 2 non-woven fabric and 3 of which were single-packed with 60 cm×20 cm Tvek paper-plastic bags. In the control group, the 3 non-woven packages to be sterilized were placed on the upper shelf of the sterilizer, and the 3 Tyvek packages to be sterilized were placed on the lower shelf. The loading order of the experimental group was reversed. The three packages of Tyvek packaging to be sterilized were placed on the upper shelf, and the three packages of non-woven packaging were placed on the lower shelf. The loading capacity of the two methods was 70%, and 20 times of sterilization were respectively carried out according to the normal process. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide adsorbed by the sterile bags was detected immediately after sterilization, and the pressure during each injection period was recorded. Results:The adsorption concentrations of hydrogen peroxide in sterile packages of non-woven fabric and Tevek in the experimental group were respectively (11.120±4.187) ppm and (8.205±4.181) ppm, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.203, P<0.05) . The adsorption concentrations of hydrogen peroxide of the two packaging materials in the control group were respectively (13.745±3.754) ppm and (8.065±4.599) ppm, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.279, P<0.01) . The difference in the adsorption concentration of non-woven fabrics between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=2.088, P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in the adsorption of Tyvek between the two groups ( t=0.164, P>0.05) . The pressure during injection of the experimental group was (9.410±0.188) Torr, and that of the control group was (9.121±0.243) Torr, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.215, P<0.01) . Conclusions:When low temperature plasma sterilization of hydrogen peroxide is carried out, Tyvek packaging has adsorption of weak hydrogen peroxide, so it is more suitable for sterilization. In the mixed loading, the sterilization packages packed with Tyvek and non-woven fabric are respectively placed on the upper and lower layers, which can reduce the adsorption amount of hydrogen peroxide of packaging materials, improve the pressure during the injection period of sterilization and ensure the sterilization quality.
