1. The definition of safety syringe?
Safety syringe means that those injector will not injected with any diseases through the syringe, including HIV, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and other pathogens. Demanding the implementation of syringe practices, non-needle sharing, and the use of rigorous disinfection of the syringe needle and use auto-disposable syringes and so on.
2. What is unsafety syringe?
? Syringe needle sharing with others
? Use the syringe needle has not been strictly disinfected
? uses the disposable syringe needle to have for the multi-people injects
? the syringe has not compliance with the disinfection working instruction and so on
3. What hazards of unsafety syringe
1) AIDS Transmission
Many vein drug addicts (Many Intravenous drug users) have infected AIDS through the use of not clean needle or use in common the needle. Data show that HIV infection rates up to 20% of places, a chance of HIV infection in syringe is about 0.1 percent
2) Infection of Hepatitis B
It was reported that syringe of less than 5 times, the hepatitis B virus carrying rate of 9.4 percent; 6 ~ 10 times, and hepatitis B virus carrier rate of 20.0 percent; more than 10 times, and hepatitis B virus carrier rate of 41.7 percent. Indicated that the more the number of syringes, the risk of hepatitis B virus infection in the greater
3) Other infections
Such as hepatitis C virus infection, or caused as a result of strict disinfection suppurative infection at the syringe site.
4. How to ensure safety syringe
At present, in China’s some areas, especially in rural areas although there are many safety syringe can not be achieved, but, according to a survey of medical services in the amount of syringe significantly more than those of oral administration. In order to ensure safety syringe, we should do as follows:
1) To strengthen the medical personnel and drug addict’s public education, training and management, training publicity should include ways to clean needles as well as the use of oral medication, such as try to avoid syringe.
2) On the repeated use of the equipment, needle thoroughly disinfected
3) Disposable Sterile Syringe can be used only once, and again after the destruction of disinfection
4) Conditional use auto-disable syringes (ie, after using a syringe can not be used
5) To avoid needle sharing, etc.
5. Intravenous drug users how to clean needles
The use of disinfectants in the right way to clean syringes is
?Prepare two clean containers, one loaded disinfectants, another loaded with water
?In proportion to the preparation of a good amount of disinfectant (bleach), into a container. (The ratio of specific preparation is: Add 2g per liter water bleaching powder, of the configuration density is 0.2%~0.3%
?With a clean water sucks, wash away the bloodstain, launched the water. Repeated at least twice
?Finally, with water pumped into the cleaning of needle bleaching powder, and then launched. Repeat washing twice
Before the use of syringe, please follow the above disinfection process.
