Description

Atmospheric pressure flexible cold plasma jet endoscope sterilization device and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of disinfection and sterilization in the medical industry, in particular to an atmospheric pressure flexible cold plasma jet endoscope sterilization device and method.
Background
Endoscopes are an important medical device for viewing lumens in the human and animal body and have been used clinically for the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases. Before using the endoscope, it is sterilized to prevent cross infection. Various methods have been used to sterilize endoscopes, such as high temperature and high pressure steam, ethylene oxide fumigation, glutaraldehyde soaking, low temperature plasma sterilization, and the like. The high-temperature high-pressure steam method has higher sterilization temperature, is easy to cause thermal damage to the surface of an endoscope, and is difficult to effectively inactivate some pathogenic microorganisms. The sterilization process of the ethylene oxide fumigation method requires a longer period of ventilation, resulting in a longer overall sterilization cycle. In addition, ethylene oxide is toxic, inflammable and explosive, and once the ethylene oxide remains or leaks, the improper treatment causes safety accidents; thus, there is a serious safety hazard in using the sterilization. The glutaraldehyde soaking method generally needs to be soaked for more than ten hours, and the sterilization efficiency is low; glutaraldehyde has strong irritation, and can irritate skin and mucous membrane, leading to human allergy; when the waste liquid is discharged, the water body is polluted.
The low-temperature plasma sterilization utilizes active particles in the plasma to kill pathogenic microorganisms, does not need chemical reagents during sterilization, has no pollution to the environment, has good treatment effect and high efficiency, has less damage to the surface of an endoscope, and is an ideal endoscope sterilization method. Document (Zentralblatt fur Hygiene und Umweltmedizin 1993, 194 (4): 380-391) provides an apparatus and method for sterilizing an endoscope using hydrogen peroxide plasma, and a sterrad 100s endoscope sterilization system developed based thereon has been widely used worldwide. However, the device and the method require expensive and complex vacuum equipment, have higher cost, and in actual treatment, the device and the method need to vacuumize, inject hydrogen peroxide and then sterilize, so that the sterilization efficiency is reduced; in addition, such devices are difficult to sterilize long or thin endoscopes. The method for sterilizing the endoscope by adopting the sterilization device with a simpler structure and low-cost gas has not been reported so far. In addition, if the plasma electrode discharge region and the sterilization region are separated, the temperature of the sterilization region can be reduced, and the catheter size can be easily changed to accommodate endoscopes of different sizes, but the endoscope sterilization device has not been realized so far.
