However, the following should be noted:
Clean and disinfect as recommended in the blood dialysis machine instruction manual. If the instruction manual does not mention this, the equipment manufacturer should be consulted. Because of the high frequency of contact with the hemodialysis machine touch screen during hemodialysis diagnostic and treatment operations, cleaning and disinfection after each hemodialysis treatment is essential. Standardized cleaning and disinfection effectively reduces the microbial load on the surface of the touch screen and eliminates the risk of transmission of disease-causing microorganisms.
According to the requirements of the Technical Code for Disinfection in Medical Institutions, chlorine-containing disinfectant wipes with effective chlorine 500mg/l are used for wiping; disinfectant wipes containing quaternary ammonium salt or other disinfectants and disinfectant wipes that meet the requirements can also be used for cleaning and disinfecting the touch panel of hemodialysis machines. When the touch screen is contaminated by blood body fluids or secretions, it should be cleaned and disinfected immediately. Under special circumstances can also use a variety of films on the touch screen of the hemodialysis machine for barrier protection.
When the touch screen is contaminated by blood, body fluids and secretions, it should be cleaned and disinfected immediately.
Barrier protection can also be applied to the touch screen in special cases.
Note: Regardless of the method used to clean and disinfect the touch screen of the hemodialysis machine, the cleaning and disinfecting cloth towel used must be wrung out as much water as possible to prevent the liquid from leaking into the interior of the machine when wiping, resulting in a short circuit of the internal circuits or damage to the touch screen.
