生物安全柜中不同包装物影响灭菌口腔器械有效期的研究

Experimental Study of the Influence of the Validity Period of Glassware Packaging on Sterilizing Instrument inside the Bio-safety Cabinet

目的探讨不同包装对灭菌口腔小器械在生物安全柜中的有效期的影响。方法在生物安全柜中,对高压灭菌后玻璃器皿包装和纸塑包装的口腔小器械在不同时间点进行细菌采样培养实验,在第1天打开玻璃器皿包装的灭菌小器械后的4、8、24 h进行采样,以后每间隔24小时采集1次,连续10 d采样观察其细菌生长情况,同时在每一个时间点均采集一次纸塑包装的灭菌器械作为实验对照。结果在生物安全柜相对无污染的情况下,对照组均无细菌生长,实验组在144 h的培养结果开始有菌落生长,168 h后的培养结果有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论在生物安全柜中相对无污染的条件下,玻璃器皿包装的口腔诊疗中的小器械的有效期远远超过《医疗机构口腔诊疗器械消毒技术操作规范》所规定的包装灭菌物品一经打开不得超过4 h的标准。

Objective To explore the validity period of oral sterilizing instruments in different packages inside the bio-safety cabinet. Methods Inside the bio-safety cabinet, we brought the autoclaved dental gadgets packed in glassware and paper-plastic into microbial sampling cultivation experiment, and made observation of the bacteria growth at the 4th, 8th, 24th hour after sterilizing, with the sampling of once per 24 hours, lasting 10 days. Samples taken from the gadgets in paper-plastic each time when samples were taken from the gadgets in glassware were as the control. Results Under the condition that the bio-safety cabinet was not contaminated, no colony grew in neither group in 144 hours; 168 hours later, the cultivation results indicated that colonies started to grow （P 〈 0.05）. Conclusion Under the condition that the bio-safety cabinet is pollution-free, the validity period of gadgets in glassware packaging for dental clinic practices is far longer than the 4-hour limit after the sterilized packages are opened, as is stipulated in the ＂Operating Specifications for Sterilization Technology on Dental Instruments of Medical Institutions＂.
