摘要

Abstract

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a medical vacuum cleaner in cleaning ophthalmic microsurgical instruments.

Methods

The ophthalmic microsurgical instrument packs processed from January to June 2023 were collected as the control group

which were cleaned manually; the instrument packs processed from April to June 2023 were the experimental group

cleaned using a medical vacuum cleaner. The cleaning quality of the two groups was assessed using visual inspection and adenosinetriphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence assay

and the cleaning time for both groups was statistically analyzed.

Results

The visual inspection showed no significant difference in the cleaning qualification rate between the two groups (

²=1.330

0.05). However

the ATP bioluminescence assay demonstrated a significant difference (

²=4.891

0.05). The cleaning times for both groups were significantly different (

=2 500

0.001).

Conclusion

The medical vacuum cleaner improves cleaning quality

enhances work efficiency

and reduces infection risks caused by incomplete cleaning in cleaning ophthalmic microsurgical instruments.
