Electrical impedance equipment is a common medical device used to test and monitor heart function. Since its use requires contact with the human body, sterilizing the device is necessary to ensure that it is clean and hygienic. Regarding whether alcohol can be used for sterilization, it is generally not recommended. The reasons are as follows: 1. Alcohol may lead to corrosion of the surface of the equipment: the surface of some electrical impedance equipment is made of special materials, such as plastic or rubber, etc., which may have a corrosive effect on alcohol, thus leading to damage or even failure of the surface. 2. The bactericidal effect of alcohol is not strong enough: although alcohol can have a bactericidal effect on some bacteria and viruses, its bactericidal effect is not very strong, and many of them cannot be completely eliminated. viruses are not completely eliminated.
So, it is recommended to use special medical disinfectant to disinfect the electric impedance equipment, these disinfectant usually after rigorous testing, and can effectively kill a variety of bacteria and viruses, and will not cause damage to the surface of the equipment. In addition, when using a disinfectant solution, it is important to follow the instructions in the manual to avoid injury or harm to humans and equipment.
