Abstract:
Objective Due to poor effects of sterilization,low efficiency and inconvenience of field emergency transportation for portable exhaust pressure steam sterilizer,we aimed to design and develop a portable pulse vacuum pressure steam sterilizer in order to effectively improve quality and efficiency of sterilization for sterile medical equipment in disaster and emergency medical treatment.Methods From the beginning of February 2013,we focused on the features of small size,light weight,reliable sterilizing effect and fast speed of sterilization,and conducted series of technology researches,and finally developed portable pulse vacuum pressure steam sterilizer which was suitable for individual carrying or air delivery.Results We performed outdoor sterilization tests for portable vacuum pressure steam sterilizer and portable exhaust pressure steam sterilizer under the same condition.Portable pulse vacuum pressure steam sterilizer achieved a 100％ qualification rate,average sterilization cycle was 28.6min per time,sterilization by weight was 48L/h,average water consumption was 0.4L/boiler,average power consumption was 0.7kw/h per time,and sterilization operation index,maneuverability and transportability were significantly better than those of portable exhaust pressure steam sterilizer.Conclusion The developed 4 portable pulse vacuum pressure steam sterilizer have higher cost performance,and have been successfully applied for medical service training and non-war medical treatment activities in our hospital.
