Prevention of contamination of oxygen equipment with silver ions

Due to the nature of activities the health facilities have high requirements in terms of bactericidal security. The primary method of reducing the risk of infection - the installation of equipment for disinfection. Disinfection - is the destruction of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms.

Cylinders of medical gases (oxygen, usually) are particularly at risk of bacterial contamination. This problem is not limited to medical institutions, and it is associated with the sphere of home care services.

Technical innovation in the field of design of medical valves and gas cylinders provides an additional level of protection against bacterial contamination.

Every year more than three million cases of nosocomial infections recorded in Europe. A study in Stockholm, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has found that on any given day, one in 18 patients acquires an infection in a health facility, in the amount of which is about 3.2 million cases per year.

Equipment for disinfection is used in all areas of health, most often - in anesthesiology, critical care medicine and dentistry.

Among the complex technological measures to prevent contamination of oxygen equipment - the use of silver ions. Silver ions bound to the cell wall of bacteria and disrupt DNA replication. The technology is absolutely harmless to humans. Polymers with silver ions are invited to make contact with the most human parts - the handle-carrying, holders crossbar. The technology provides a permanent antibacterial protection in a reduced need for treatment.

Equipment for disinfection can be used for the treatment of medical devices, bedding, indoor air (UV lamps), even non-transportable patients in intensive care units.

WestMedGroup can offer its customers equipment for disinfection Ecoline, Evolution and Century of STERIS. The ergonomic design of equipment for disinfection and loading equipment, a large touch display with a color display of the sterilization cycle phases create a comfortable and pleasant environment for the staff.
