Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、医療器具、特に、血液等の体液及び/又は尿等の排泄物等で汚染された、金属、ガラス、プラスチック、ゴム製等の医療器具を洗浄対象とする医療器具用洗浄剤組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
病院では手術、診療、検査等で使用した器具は、B型肝炎、C型肝炎、後天性免疫不全症候群等の感染から医療従事者を守るため、洗浄室あるいは中央材料室といった専門の施設で、手袋、マスク、ゴーグル等で感染防御した専門家が洗浄を行っている。近年、これら感染対策を更に高めるため、自動洗浄機が普及してきた。
【0003】
手術、診療、検査等で使用した器具は血液等の体液、排泄物等が付着しており、これらの汚れ成分はタンパク質を主としたものである。これらの汚れは付着後すぐであれば比較的簡単に落とせるが、放置することや、熱、消毒剤などの影響により、固化、変性を起こし、非常に落としづらい汚れとなる。しかしながら、使用後ただちに器具を回収し洗浄を行うことは病院業務の現状においては困難であることが多い。このような背景から、これら病院特有の汚れに対して効果的に洗浄できる洗浄剤が望まれている。
【0004】
これら汚れの付着した医療器具を、洗浄機を用いて洗浄する場合、アルカリ洗浄剤が有効である。しかしながら、アルカリ洗浄剤を用いた場合、水(水道水や地下水)に含まれる二価金属イオンと炭酸イオンあるいは珪酸イオンが結合し、水不溶性の化合物を生成する。そのため、洗浄機槽内にこの水不溶性化合物が徐々に付着し、スケールと言われるもので白く汚れてくるといった問題がある。すなわち、体液、排泄物などの汚れを効果的に落とし、更にスケールにより槽内が汚染されない洗浄剤が望まれている。
【0005】
特許文献1では炭素数5から12のアルキルスフェート塩、配合助剤、アルカノ−ルアミン、タンパク質分解酵素からなる外科用器具用洗浄剤が提案されているが、洗浄性がいまだ不充分であり、機械洗浄においては泡立ちの問題が生じる。特許文献2でもアルカノ−ルアミンを主とした洗浄剤が提案されているが、汚れ負荷が大きくなったときの洗浄性に問題を残している。
【0006】
更に、特許文献3ではアルカリ剤に有機リン系キレート剤と高分子水溶性分散剤を配合しスケール付着防止効果に優れた食器洗浄機用洗浄剤組成物が、特許文献4ではアルカノールアミン、アルカリ化合物、水溶性高分子キレート形成剤を含有する無機物が付着残留しない食器洗浄器用洗浄剤が、特許文献5では水酸化ナトリウム又は水酸化カリウム、ケイ酸ナトリウム、高分子キレート形成剤を特定比率で含有するスケール付着残留しない食器洗浄機用液状洗浄剤が提案されている。しかしながら、これらの組成においても、スケール付着を完全に防止するに至っておらず、また、医療器具に付着する体液、排泄物等が固化、変質した汚れを洗浄対象としていないため、十分な洗浄効果も期待できない。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cleaning composition for a medical device, particularly a medical device made of metal, glass, plastic, rubber or the like, which is contaminated with body fluids such as blood and / or excrement such as urine. About things.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In hospitals, instruments used for surgery, medical treatment, examinations, etc. are used in specialized facilities such as washing rooms or central materials rooms to protect healthcare workers from infections such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, etc. Specialists who have been infected with gloves, masks, goggles, etc. are cleaning. In recent years, automatic washing machines have become widespread in order to further enhance these infection control measures.
[0003]
Instruments used in operations, medical treatments, examinations and the like have body fluids such as blood, excretions, etc. attached thereto, and these dirt components are mainly proteins. These stains can be removed relatively easily as soon as they are deposited, but they are hardened and denatured by leaving them unattended or under the influence of heat, disinfectant, etc., and become extremely difficult to remove. However, it is often difficult to collect and clean instruments immediately after use in the current state of hospital operations. From such a background, there is a demand for a cleaning agent that can effectively clean such hospital-specific stains.
[0004]
When cleaning these stained medical instruments using a washing machine, an alkali detergent is effective. However, when an alkaline cleaning agent is used, a divalent metal ion contained in water (tap water or groundwater) and a carbonate ion or a silicate ion combine to generate a water-insoluble compound. For this reason, there is a problem that the water-insoluble compound gradually adheres to the inside of the cleaning tank and becomes white with what is called scale. That is, there is a demand for a cleaning agent that effectively removes dirt such as body fluids and excrement and does not contaminate the inside of the tank with scale.
[0005]
Patent Document 1 proposes a detergent for surgical instruments comprising an alkyl phosphate salt having 5 to 12 carbon atoms, a compounding aid, an alkanolamine, and a protease, but the detergency is still insufficient. Foaming problems occur in machine cleaning. Patent Literature 2 also proposes a cleaning agent mainly composed of alkanolamine, but has a problem in cleaning performance when the dirt load increases.
[0006]
Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a detergent composition for a dishwasher excellent in an effect of preventing scale adhesion by mixing an organic phosphorus-based chelating agent and a polymer water-soluble dispersant with an alkali agent, and Patent Document 4 discloses an alkanolamine and an alkali compound. In Patent Document 5, a dishwasher detergent containing no water-soluble polymer chelate-forming agent and containing no inorganic substance contains sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, sodium silicate, and a polymer chelate-forming agent in a specific ratio. Liquid cleaners for dishwashers that do not remain on scale have been proposed. However, even in these compositions, scale adhesion has not been completely prevented, and body fluids, excretions, etc. adhered to medical instruments are not solidified and deteriorated. I can't expect it.

【Example】
(1) Washing egg yolk / horse aseptic defibrinated blood / cow liver = 30/40/20 (weight ratio) by stirring and mixing until uniform using a mixer 0.2 g of a model soil, 1 mm × 30 mm × 80 mm stainless steel plate A test piece was uniformly applied to an area of 30 mm × 40 mm at the center of (SUS304) and dried at 40 ° C. for 24 hours. A stainless steel plate of the same size as the test piece was placed on the model dirt-applied surface side of the test piece at an interval of 1 mm (stacked test piece) and used for the test. The weight of the test piece and the stainless steel plate (the test piece before application of the model dirt) used for producing the test piece are measured in advance.
[0036]
The laminated test piece was set at an angle of 45 ° at the same position at the bottom of the washing tank of an automatic jet washing apparatus DEKO-2000E (manufactured by Franke Finland). Washing was performed in a step of washing (with a detergent) for 5 minutes and rinsing with warm water for 3 minutes. In this device, the cleaning liquid is circulated and used by external transport by a pump. After rinsing, the laminated test piece was dried at 80 ° for 1 hour, and the weight of the test piece among the laminated test pieces was measured. From these weights before and after washing, the washing rate was calculated by the following formula, and the washing performance was evaluated.
[0037]
Washing rate (%) = 100 − [(W T1 −W S ) / (W T0 −W S ) × 100]
W T0 : Weight of test piece before cleaning (g)
W T1 : Weight of test piece after cleaning (g)
W S : Weight (g) of the stainless steel plate used for producing the test piece
[0038]
(2) Anti-scale adhesion property Using water having a German hardness of 8.0 ° and a detergent composition concentration of 0.2% by weight, an automatic jet type washing apparatus DEKO-2000E (manufactured by Franke Finland) is continuously used 20 times. After the operation (the object to be cleaned was not put in), the adhesion state of the scale in the cleaning tank was visually observed and evaluated according to the following criteria.
:: There is no scale adhesion.
Δ: Slight adhesion of scale is observed.
X: Scale adhesion is observed.
[0039]
(3) Storage stability The compositions in Table 1 were stored at 0 ° C. for one month or at 40 ° C. for one month, and the appearance was observed and evaluated according to the following criteria.
:: Uniformly dissolved, no change from before storage.
Δ: Slight crystal precipitation, turbidity, and separation were observed.
X: Crystal precipitation, generation of turbidity, and separation are clearly observed.

In the table, Mw is the weight average molecular weight, and the washing concentration is the concentration of the liquid detergent composition (the composition concentration in the aqueous solution). In Comparative Examples 5 and 6, the weight ratio was calculated for convenience using Na glycolate and Na pyrophosphate as the component (C).
[0042]
As shown in Table 1, all of the compositions of the examples are excellent in storage stability, and excellent in cleaning properties and scale adhesion prevention properties. On the other hand, the compositions of Comparative Examples in which (A) / (B), (C) / (B), and (D) / (B) weight ratios are out of the range of the present invention have cleaning properties, anti-scale adhesion properties, Problems occur with any of the storage stability. Further, even when the weight ratio is within the range of the present invention as in Comparative Examples 5 and 6, when a compound that does not fall under the component (C) is used, the detergency tends to decrease, and the scale is reduced. The anti-adhesion property deteriorates. ,
