Abstract:
The study was aimed at evaluation of usefulness of Septo-Clean, which contain in 100 cm3 of distilled water 1 g of didecyl-dimethylammonium chloride and 70 cm3 of isopropyl alcohol. This preparation is prepared for quick disinfection of surfaces and antiseptic action on hand skin. Investigations were carried on test strains of S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans. It was demonstrated that MIC of Septo-Clean amount to 0.04% for S. aureus to 0.88% for P. aeruginosa. MBC 5 min values were respectively 0.19 and 1.05%. It was found that this preparation effectively lowers natural contamination with bacteria of hospital usable surfaces by 98%, exhibiting effectiveness similar to preparations containing 2.5% of chlorhexidine in 70% ethanol or isopropanol.

Cleaning, Sterilization, and Disinfection
Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
