To ensure the safety of hospital patients and medical staff and prevent cross infections, electric wheelchairs used in hospitals must be regularly cleaned and disinfected and must follow strict hygiene standards. Before and after use, the surface of the electric wheelchair should be thoroughly cleaned by professionals or trained personnel, especially the parts that are frequently in contact with the human body, such as joysticks, armrests, seats and pedals. Wipe with medical grade disinfectant wipes or diluted disinfectant to ensure visible stains and potential microorganisms are removed. Non-electronic parts of electric wheelchairs, such as removable cushions, seat cushions and accessories, must be cleaned and sterilized at high temperature in accordance with the regulations of the hospital infection control department. If the wheelchair's material allows, you can also use ultraviolet light or spray chemical disinfectants to further kill germs. For electronic parts and battery components of electric wheelchairs, special attention should be paid to waterproofing and moisture-proofing, and direct spraying of liquid disinfectants should be avoided. It is generally recommended to use a special electronic product cleaner to gently clean it or operate according to the cleaning guidelines provided by the manufacturer to ensure that the equipment is not damaged and can be effectively disinfected. Cleaning and disinfection of electric wheelchairs is a meticulous and systematic process, and relevant standards and procedures for disinfection of medical equipment must be followed. Only through a rigorous cleaning and disinfection process can the risk of cross infection be minimized, protect the health of each user and prolong the life of the electric wheelchair. It is recommended that all medical institutions include daily maintenance and disinfection of electric wheelchairs as an important part of routine health management.
