MEDICAL DEVICE DISINFECTION—HOW TO PREVENT CRACKING AND CRAZING Understanding polymer performance is key to minimizing disinfectant-related failures DISINFECTANT-RELATED DAMAGE ON POLYMER HOUSINGS Strong chemicals used to reduce hospital- acquired infections can damage equipment and result in material failures, such as: • Stress cracking • Crazing • Discoloration CHEMICAL RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS VARY BY ENVIRONMENT • Patient/exam rooms • Operating and radiology rooms • Reception areas • Home (patient equipment & devices) Healthcare devices must perform flawlessly in a myriad of challenging environments and engineers must be certain their devices can withstand increasingly potent disinfectants, which have begun to outstrip the performance of traditional polymers. This procedure was completed by placing one 1/2 inch section of rayon gauze at the apex of each bar, and soaking the gauze with the disinfectant to saturate the material.
