It was found in a study that vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) couldn’t sterilize surgical tools completely. More than 60% of the time the tools and medical equipment aren’t cleaned properly before they are used in an important operation. Now, there are multiple reasons as to why this can happen.
It is recommended that sterilization is done along with other conventional cleaning methods in order to avoid contamination of medical technology and tools. While this is one example of improper cleaning in medical facilities, there are many other instances where this problem has been found.
One might say that this is due to the lack of compatibility that is not really the case. You see, while larger medical facilities and hospitals with money to spend can maintain a high level of hygiene, the case is not the same for their smaller counterparts.
Smaller facilities and clinics do not have a dedicated team of professionals to look after sanitation of their equipment and MedTech in general. This plus the lack of knowledge required to conduct proper maintenance of HTM causes hindrance in day-to-day operations.
