How harmful is a household ventilator that is not cleaned and disinfected for a long time?

With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more families are using non-invasive ventilators. However, non-invasive ventilators are a clinical device rather than a household appliance, but for household users, they are not a simple operation and still require some nursing standards. This article mainly introduces the cleaning and disinfection of non-invasive ventilators used in households.

How harmful is the long-term non sterilization of household ventilators?

Respirators, pipelines, and masks are suitable for bacterial growth due to high temperature and humidity during use, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, etc. If not disinfected and sterilized in a timely manner, a large amount of bacteria will enter the human respiratory tract with the airflow, posing a great health threat to users. Especially for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it may also cause infection, induce acute exacerbation of COPD, and require hospitalization treatment, posing a great health threat and economic burden to users.

Internal and accessory sample testing results of the ventilator:

01 Host

Non invasive ventilators inhale a large amount of air from the intake every day. Large particles of dust are intercepted by filter cotton, while small particles of dust enter the interior of the machine, accumulate inside the motor, and then enter the human body with the air. So, it is very important to clean the filter cotton in a timely manner, at least to ensure that there is relatively less dust entering. Moreover, non-invasive ventilators must undergo dismantling, dust removal, and sterilization every two years to better ensure your physical health!

02 humidifier (water tank)

Main reasons: The humidifier is closed, damp, and warm. Basically, all the conditions for bacterial survival have been met.

03 Pipeline

Due to the direct connection between the pipeline and the humidifier, especially in winter, ordinary pipelines are prone to producing condensate, which is also a favorite place for bacteria.

04 Mask

The ventilator, tubing, and mask actually form a sealed system. The mask, due to direct contact with the user's skin every day and exhalation at night, also creates an environment inside the mask that adapts to bacterial growth.

How to disinfect and sterilize non-invasive ventilators best?

Currently, non-invasive ventilators often use ozone disinfection equipment to disinfect them.

Zhiwei Heavy Disinfection Treasure for one click disinfection and easy sterilization. Zhiwei Heavy Disinfection Treasure adopts ozone sterilization technology, with no residue, consumables, and dead corners in the sterilization process; After disinfection, ozone will naturally decompose into oxygen, which is safe and reliable.
