Since many diseases were transmitted by rats, mice and insects, deratisation and disinsection were carried out in parallel. In the 21st century, a whole range of measures have been developed that help to eliminate pathogens in the premises of medical centres. These preventive measures can prevent outbreaks of dangerous diseases.

There are 4 main methods of indoor disinfection:

It consists of airing the room, wiping surfaces, walls and floors. In the case of inpatient clinics, this includes changing and washing patients' bed linen.

This is a method of disinfecting the room using ultraviolet radiation and treating the inventory with hot steam. This method is very effective and is considered environmentally friendly.

Similar to mechanical, except that surfaces are wiped using special chemical solutions. Gas disinfection is also possible. Usually, solutions containing alcohol, chlorine and other chemically active substances that are destructive to microbes are used for such disinfection.

Special types of microorganisms are used to kill pathogenic bacteria.

It is worth noting that in most cases different disinfection methods are combined to achieve the best results. Most often a mechanical method is combined with a chemical or physical method.

Any disinfection can be preventive and focal. In the first case, a set of measures for the daily maintenance of the sanitary and epidemiological condition of the room is implied. Focal disinfection is carried out in the case of the possibility of the emergence of a dangerous infectious disease. This is an urgent set of measures, which is carried out unscheduled.

To disinfect the room effectively, it is necessary to properly consider all possible factors. Specialists must calculate the possibility of resistance of certain microorganisms to chemical agents that will be used and, if necessary, replace or combine different compositions of disinfectant solutions. Also, no less carefully calculated time of exposure to the reagent on a particular surface, depending on the material from which it is made. It is worth noting that it is difficult to determine how protected a room is from the influence of pathogens. A visually clean room may contain a huge number of dangerous microbes, so the importance of disinfection plays a particularly important role in the functioning of medical centres.

The rules and frequency of disinfection depend on the purpose of the medical centre and the individual rooms. Special sanitary regulations have been developed for this purpose and must be strictly adhered to. When carrying out chemical disinfection, it is important to remove residual solutions from surfaces, as very strong chemical reagents are often used. Safety precautions must be strictly adhered to when using strong chemicals. The person carrying out the treatment must be protected from their effects. Special attention should be paid to the skin, mucous membranes and respiratory tract.

Clinics, laboratories and other medical facilities are visited by a large number of people who may be carriers of diseases. This is especially true in autumn and winter, when the number of ARVI and influenza patients increases. In order to carry out disinfection correctly medical institution can turn for help to the company Griffin. Our specialists will not only analyse the full range of necessary disinfection measures, but will also suggest the best options for sanitary treatment depending on the type of activity and features of each individual medical facility. Then, according to the approved plan, our experienced staff will carry out the full range of measures that the premises need to maintain its sanitary and epidemiological condition at the appropriate level. In this way, the management of the medical centre can be assured of high-quality sanitary treatment of its premises, and will save a lot of time and money on hiring additional staff and buying appropriate chemicals.
