Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and more specifically to a medical low-temperature steam hydrogen peroxide rapid sterilization device. Background Art
[0002] Nowadays, various types of medical electronic endoscopes, interventional catheters and other expensive instruments are commonly used in medical clinics for disease inspection, diagnosis and surgical treatment. There are also active instruments with batteries and cables such as electric saws, electric drills, and high-frequency electric knives used in orthopedic surgery. They are all instruments that are not resistant to moisture and heat and cannot be sterilized using high-temperature steam sterilization equipment (sterilization temperature reaches 121℃~132℃). At present, for expensive instruments used in clinical surgery, the commonly used low-temperature sterilization equipment includes ethylene oxide sterilizers, hydrogen peroxide low-temperature plasma sterilizers, and medical low-temperature steam formaldehyde sterilizers. These sterilization equipment have their own characteristics, but there are also some problems:
[0003] (1) The sterilizers used are hazardous chemicals: For example, bottled ethylene oxide gas sterilizers used in ethylene oxide sterilizers and 58% hydrogen peroxide sterilizers used in hydrogen peroxide low-temperature plasma sterilizers are both flammable and explosive hazardous chemicals, and there are many restrictions on their production, transportation, storage and use. They cannot be transported over long distances, and both equipment manufacturers and hospital users need to go through relevant hazardous chemical management licensing procedures and undergo regular inspections, which greatly limits the popularization and application of such sterilizers.
[0004] (2) Carcinogenicity of sterilization ingredients: For example, bottled ethylene oxide gas sterilizers used in ethylene oxide sterilizers and formaldehyde ethanol mixed sterilizers used in medical low-temperature steam formaldehyde sterilizers are internationally recognized as Class I toxic carcinogens. Even if a variety of analytical treatment devices and methods are adopted to reduce the chemical residues after sterilization to a qualified range, there are still adverse effects on the health of medical operators and the surrounding environment. Moreover, once an equipment failure occurs and the sterilizer leaks, the impact on the surrounding environment will be very serious.
[0005] (3) Corrosiveness of high-difficulty sterilizing agents to instruments: For example, the 58% hydrogen peroxide sterilizing agent used in hydrogen peroxide low-temperature plasma sterilizers has a purification device added during the sterilization process to improve the sterilization effect, so that the concentration of hydrogen peroxide entering the sterilization chamber is purified from 58% to more than 90%. Although the excessively high concentration of hydrogen peroxide gas improves the sterilization performance, it also increases the corrosiveness to the surface of surgical instruments, especially expensive instruments such as electronic endoscopes, which affects the service life of the instruments;
[0006] (4) Low-temperature sterilization takes a long time: For example, the sterilization temperature of an ethylene oxide sterilizer is between 65°C and 75°C, but the sterilization and subsequent decomposition and removal of residues takes a long time, often requiring 16 to 24 hours. The sterilization temperature of a medical low-temperature steam formaldehyde sterilizer is 60°C and 78°C, and the sterilization and decomposition time is generally 3 to 4 hours, so that hospitals can only sterilize 1 to 2 times a day, and the equipment utilization rate is low, which cannot meet the requirements for rapid sterilization of surgical instruments during clinical operation.

The exhaust gas high-temperature ion catalytic device 4 and the analysis device 3 work together to quickly decompose the hydrogen peroxide sterilant remaining in the sterilization chamber 1 and on the surface of the surgical instrument; then flush sterile air into the sterilization chamber 1 to make the sterilization chamber 1 equal to the outside pressure, open the pressure-resistant door 6, take out the sterilized surgical instrument, and complete the whole sterilization process. The medical low-temperature steam hydrogen peroxide rapid sterilization device provided by the utility model adopts a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide sterilant of 6% to 8%, thereby avoiding the management of hazardous chemicals and being safer to use. The low-concentration hydrogen peroxide sterilant of 6% to 8% is adopted, and the sterilization process is completed in a vacuum-sealed sterilization chamber 1 under low temperature conditions. The hydrogen peroxide gas will not overflow during the sterilization process, and the residual hydrogen peroxide sterilizer after sterilization is rapidly decomposed into water and oxygen through the combined analysis of the exhaust gas high-temperature ion catalytic device 4 and the analysis device 3, which is friendly to people and the environment. In the vacuum-sealed sterilization chamber 1, the low-concentration hydrogen peroxide is flash-evaporated to form low-temperature saturated steam, and its penetration is improved, and the sterilization performance is also improved accordingly. Sterilization is carried out at a low temperature of 55°C to 65°C, and the whole sterilization process is completed within 40 to 60 minutes, and the corrosiveness is reduced, thereby achieving true low-temperature rapid sterilization.
