How to clean medical waste bins?

Medical waste bins are one of the indispensable facilities in hospitals, used for collecting and handling medical waste. However, during their use, medical waste bins are prone to stains, which not only affect their appearance but may also pose a threat to the medical environment and health. Therefore, how to deal with and clean the stains on medical waste bins is an issue that requires attention.

The protection and maintenance of medical waste bins are of great significance for the prevention and handling of stains. On one hand, it is necessary to regularly check the sealing and material of the medical waste bins to prevent leakage of residues and damage to the bins. On the other hand, it is important to follow the usage guidelines for medical waste bins to avoid excessive stacking and compression of waste, which can lead to the formation of stains and make cleaning difficult. The cleaning of medical waste bins requires the use of professional equipment or standardized operations to ensure thorough disinfection. During the cleaning process, the following matters should be noted: avoid using sharp objects to scratch the surface of the bin; chlorine-based disinfectants should be prepared immediately and used as needed to prevent corrosion of metal components; after cleaning, the bin must be completely dried to avoid moisture residue that may cause mold growth.

The Ruite medical bin cleaning machine achieves cleaning through processes such as high-temperature and high-pressure water spraying, hot alkaline water immersion washing, and hot air drying. This equipment is made of 304 stainless steel and supports the addition of disinfectants, effectively removing bacterial stains. The specific cleaning process is as follows:

 Pre-treatment: After emptying the trash, manually remove large debris;

 Chemical disinfection: Use chlorine-based disinfectants (such as 84 disinfectant) or peracetic acid (0.2%-0.5%) to prepare a solution for soaking and disinfection. For severely contaminated trash cans, the concentration should be increased to 1000-2000mg/L (chlorine-based) or 0.5% peracetic acid;

 Physical cleaning: Through all-round high-pressure nozzles to spray and clean the inner walls, focusing on removing stubborn stains. We can add a brush for particularly difficult-to-clean dirt on bins;

 Final treatment: After rinsing with clean water, use high-temperature drying or ultraviolet disinfection. The high-temperature drying temperature range is 50-90℃ (steam heating or electric heating as the heat source), and the drying time is usually 5-10 minutes, with a heat efficiency of up to 85-95%, achieving uniform drying without any dead corners. The trash cans after drying can significantly reduce the probability of bacterial growth, ensuring the hospital's environmental hygiene and the safety of patients.
