Definitions
- the present invention relates to a disinfecting method, and particularly, when disinfecting a medical device, especially a contact lens or an ophthalmic contact mirror, simply irradiates a disinfecting solution containing hydrogen peroxide with light of a predetermined wavelength.
- the present invention relates to a disinfection method having a feature that excellent disinfection effects can be realized and that the neutralization treatment of hydrogen peroxide after disinfection is no longer required. Background technology
- contact lenses have been classified into non-hydrous contact lenses and hydrous contact lenses, or into hard contact lenses and soft contact lenses. Therefore, when any of those contact lenses is used continuously, microorganisms such as bacteria attached to the surface of the lens may be removed while the lens is being removed from the eye and stored.
- contact lenses should be disinfected before wearing them, as they can proliferate, and these microorganisms can cause harmful effects such as infections on the eyes. It is necessary to perform disinfection before use, especially in the case of soft contact lenses because of the high risk of bacterial infection.
- a heat disinfection method using a boiling disinfectant and a chemical disinfection method using a disinfectant or an antiseptic have been mainly adopted.
- thermal disinfection method a boiling operation requiring a long time is required, and in recent years, the latter chemical disinfection method has been widely used.
- a contact lens solution containing a predetermined disinfectant / preservative is used, and the contact lens is immersed in the solution and subjected to a desired disinfection treatment.
- Hydrogen peroxide is also well known as a disinfectant / P-type preservative used in the chemical disinfection method.However, in order to obtain a desired disinfection effect, usually 3% (30,000 ppm) is used. ), And after disinfection, a neutralization treatment is required to decompose and detoxify the hydrogen peroxide remaining on the surface and inside of the contact lens. That is, even if a small amount of hydrogen peroxide remains, there is a risk of causing serious damage to the eyes. Therefore, it has been conventionally used to rinse with physiological saline or use a metal catalyst such as platinum black.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a solution to the problem is to provide a simple and disinfecting method capable of exhibiting an excellent disinfecting effect. Is to do.
- the present invention has been completed based on such findings, and the gist of the present invention is to provide a disinfecting method using a disinfecting solution containing hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous medium.
- the disinfecting solution is stored in a predetermined container so as to have a depth of 3 to 10 mm, and the article to be disinfected is immersed in the disinfecting solution, and then at least in a depth direction of the disinfecting solution.
- the disinfection method is characterized in that the article to be disinfected is disinfected by irradiating light having a wavelength of 280 to 3885 nm.
- hydrogen peroxide is used as a disinfectant
- the disinfectant containing the hydrogen peroxide is 3 to 10 mm. Since it is housed at a relatively shallow depth and irradiates light of a predetermined wavelength in the depth direction, it is contained and dissolved in such a disinfecting solution. Light is uniformly and well irradiated to the hydrogen oxide. As a result, the hydrogen peroxide that has been exposed to light is effectively decomposed, and the strong oxidizing action of the hydroxyl radical ( ⁇ OH) generated during the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide causes the sterilization of harmful microorganisms and the like. It is possible to do.
- an excellent disinfection effect can be realized simply and simply by irradiating the disinfectant containing hydrogen peroxide with light of a predetermined wavelength.
- the disinfectant containing hydrogen peroxide with light of a predetermined wavelength.
- hydrogen peroxide which is harmful to living organisms, is effectively and forcibly decomposed in a short period of time.
- it also has the advantage that extremely good bactericidal efficacy can be obtained and the neutralization treatment of hydrogen peroxide after disinfection is not required.
- the light irradiation is performed by irradiating light having a wavelength of 280 to 3885 nm, a high disinfection effect is realized without adversely affecting the articles to be disinfected. You get.
- the light irradiation is such that the light intensity at the main wavelength is 0.3 to 1.0 O mW / cm 2 with respect to the disinfecting solution.
- the irradiation is preferably carried out by irradiating light, whereby the hydrogen peroxide contained in the disinfecting solution can be advantageously decomposed, thereby immersing in the disinfecting solution.
- the disinfection effect of the articles to be disinfected (disinfected articles) can be advantageously enhanced.
- a configuration in which the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide is 1 to 500 ppm can be suitably adopted.
- excellent bactericidal efficacy can be advantageously ensured even at a low concentration.
- the disinfecting solution contains water-dispersible titanium oxide, a metal ion, a metal-EDTA complex, and a surfactant, if necessary. It may be contained, so that a further function according to those components is added. Specifically, the dispersing effect of water-dispersible titanium oxide can be enhanced, the effect of promoting decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by metal ions or metal-EDTA complex, or the effect of washing with a surfactant can be imparted. .
- the disinfecting solution used in the disinfecting method according to the present invention preferably has an osmotic pressure of 250 to 35 Om Osm, thereby disinfecting contact lenses and the like. Adverse effects on the article can be advantageously prevented, and the safety of living bodies such as eyes is further enhanced.
- a medical device for example, a contact lens or an ophthalmic contact mirror
- contact lenses can be advantageously disinfected.
- the disinfecting method according to the present invention uses a disinfecting solution containing hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous medium such as purified water, and the article to be disinfected in such a disinfecting solution.
- an aqueous medium such as purified water
- the disinfecting solution is irradiated with light having a wavelength of 280 to 38 nm to obtain It is used to disinfect articles to be disinfected.
- the disinfectant containing such hydrogen peroxide is accommodated in a relatively shallow depth or thickness of 3 to 10 mm.
- the remarkable feature of the present invention resides in that light of a predetermined wavelength is irradiated in the depth direction or the thickness direction.
- the disinfectant used in the present invention contains and dissolves hydrogen peroxide, which has been conventionally used as a disinfectant, and the article to be disinfected is immersed in such a disinfectant. Later, from the point where the light irradiation of the predetermined wavelength is performed, the irradiation light hits the hydrogen peroxide in the disinfecting solution, whereby the hydrogen peroxide receiving the light is irradiated. Is effectively decomposed. Then, upon the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide, a hydroxyl radical is generated, so that the concentration of the hydroxyl radical in the disinfecting solution is increased in a short time, and thus the strong oxidation of the hydroxyl radical is caused.
- the disinfection is performed so that light of a predetermined wavelength can be uniformly and sufficiently irradiated to the hydrogen peroxide contained in the disinfecting solution.
- the liquid is stored in a predetermined container so as to have a relatively shallow depth or thickness of 3 to 1 Omm, and light is irradiated at least in the depth direction or the thickness direction. You have to. If the depth (thickness) of the disinfectant is less than 3 mm, the required amount of disinfectant will be small, and the amount of hydrogen peroxide will be small enough to achieve a sufficient disinfecting effect. This is because, depending on the item to be disinfected, it cannot be completely immersed, and there may be a part that cannot be disinfected.
- the depth (thickness) of the disinfectant exceeds 10 mm, the hydrogen peroxide on the front side in the irradiation direction is exposed to light, but the peroxide on the front side in the irradiation direction is irradiated. This is because hydrogen is not sufficiently irradiated with light and an effective disinfection effect cannot be obtained.
- the predetermined container for storing the disinfecting solution to have a depth or thickness of 3 to 1 Omm is not particularly limited, and has a size capable of accommodating the articles to be disinfected.
- various containers can be appropriately used as long as they can be accommodated so as to have a depth or thickness of O mm and allow light to pass at least in the depth direction or the thickness direction.
- a container made of a light-transmitting material can be advantageously used so that light irradiation can be performed from a plurality of directions. Using such a container, light irradiation is performed from the depth direction, the thickness direction, and other directions. As a result, the light irradiation efficiency can be effectively increased, and the disinfection effect can be more advantageously achieved.
- the disinfecting solution used in the present invention contains hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent as a disinfectant, and the content of the hydrogen peroxide in the disinfecting solution is as expected.
- the concentration of hydrogen peroxide can be extremely low, for example, 1/60 or less.
- the hydrogen peroxide concentration generally, a concentration of 1 to 500 ppm, preferably 3 to 350 ppm, and more preferably 5 to 50 ppm can be adopted. If such a remarkably low concentration of hydrogen peroxide is employed, most of the hydrogen peroxide contained in the disinfecting solution can be decomposed by light irradiation, and the amount of remaining hydrogen peroxide can be reduced. Since the amount of water is extremely low, the neutralization treatment of hydrogen peroxide after disinfection becomes unnecessary, and as a result, if the economy and the usability are improved, the advantages can be enjoyed.
- the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is less than I ppm in the above concentration range, the disinfecting effect cannot be sufficiently achieved.On the contrary, if the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is too high, Although sufficient antiseptic effect can be obtained, there is a risk that hydrogen peroxide that remains without being decomposed by light irradiation may be present, and disinfected articles with such hydrogen peroxide attached, for example, medical devices, etc. If used, there is a risk of causing harmful effects on the living body. Therefore, it is necessary to neutralize the hydrogen peroxide remaining in the disinfecting solution as before.
- the disinfecting solution containing hydrogen peroxide in an appropriate amount may contain water-dispersible titanium oxide in addition to such hydrogen peroxide. That is, when water-dispersible titanium oxide is further contained, titanium oxide
- the disinfecting effect based on the photocatalytic action of tan and the disinfecting effect of hydrogen peroxide combine to provide a remarkably superior disinfecting effect as compared to the case of using them alone, and the disinfecting effect on the articles to be disinfected is advantageous. It is possible to increase it.
- the titanium oxide also generates hydroxyl radicals when irradiated with light, so that the decomposition reaction of organic substances such as harmful microorganisms can be performed very efficiently.
- the titanium oxide having such water dispersibility is not particularly limited as long as it can be dispersed in an appropriate aqueous medium, and generally has an average particle diameter of 15 ⁇ m or less. Titanium oxide having an average particle diameter of preferably 10 nm or less will be advantageously employed.
- the particle size of the titanium oxide is too large, it is difficult to maintain good transparency of the disinfecting solution, and thus, when irradiating light as described above, the fine particles on the near side in the irradiation direction In this way, the light is blocked from traveling further, and there is a problem in that the light does not hit the front side in the irradiation direction, resulting in a problem that the disinfection effect is significantly reduced.
- the water-dispersible titanium oxide used as the disinfecting effect-improving component is difficult to be adsorbed by the article to be disinfected, so that adding it changes the physical properties and shape of the article to be disinfected. And the occurrence of problems that adversely affect the living body can be advantageously avoided.
- the disinfecting solution used in the present invention may be added with metal ions as necessary.
- the addition of the metal ion causes a Fenton reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the metal ion, further promoting the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide.
- the concentration of the hydroxyl radical in the disinfecting solution is further increased, and a more excellent bactericidal action can be exhibited.
- metal ions include iron ions, nickel ions, and copper ions, and are not particularly limited. Among these metal ions, the effect of iron ions is particularly high. By adopting this, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is further promoted, and as a result, the improvement of the sterilization performance can be realized.
- such metal ions In general, a content of about 1 to 10 ppm is to be adopted.
- the various metal ions described above may be added or contained in a disinfecting solution as a metal-EDTA complex such as a Fe-EDTA complex, a Ni-EDTA complex, or a Cu-EDTA complex.
- the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is also promoted by the presence of a metal-EDTA complex, as in the case where metal ions are contained (especially, in the case of iron ions), so that sterilization performance can be improved.
- a concentration of about 10 to 300 ppm is advantageously employed.
- the disinfecting solution as described above may further contain a surfactant for the purpose of cleaning the articles to be disinfected, apart from the disinfection of microorganisms, and such a surfactant may be a conventional one. Therefore, any of known anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and cationic surfactants, which are generally used for contact lens solutions and the like, can be advantageously employed.
- the addition of the disinfecting solution gives the disinfecting solution a cleaning effect such as a lipid removing effect.
- the disinfecting solution used in the present invention includes, in addition to the above-mentioned hydrogen peroxide, titanium oxide, metal ions, metal-EDTA complex, and surfactant, if necessary, in the preparation of a normal disinfecting solution.

In addition, all of these components are safe for living bodies and do not inhibit the effect of hydrogen peroxide as described above, and in a quantitative range that does not impair the effect, Each will be used.
- one of the chelating agents included in such a disinfecting solution as needed generally has an effect of preventing the deposition of metal ions such as calcium on the articles to be disinfected.
- examples of such a component include ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, cunic acid, gluconic acid, tartaric acid, phytic acid, and salts thereof (for example, sodium salt).
- the buffer is disinfected
- Typical buffers include cunic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, Examples include amino acids such as ascorbic acid, maleic acid, gluconic acid, phosphoric acid, boric acid, and glycine diglycinic acid; acids such as tris (hydroxymethyl) amino methane; and salts thereof (eg, sodium salt). You can do it.
- a thickener used for adjusting the viscosity of the disinfecting solution polyvinyl alcohol, poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone), polyethylene glycol, polyacrylamide and its hydrolyzate, polyacrylic acid, hydroxyethyl cellulose And carboxymethylcellulose, methylhydroxyethylcellulose, methylhydroxypropylcellulose, methylcellulose, gelatin, sodium alginate, sodium chondroitin sulfate, xanthan gum, gum arabic, gum gum and the like.
- various conventionally known compounds having a preservative or bactericidal effect can be added as the preservative, bactericide and oxidizing agent.
- examples of the oxidizing agent include peroxides such as ozone water, sodium peroxide, magnesium peroxide, and silver oxide.
- peroxides such as ozone water, sodium peroxide, magnesium peroxide, and silver oxide.
- Such an oxidizing agent (peroxide) is further contained in the disinfecting solution. By doing so, an even better disinfection effect can be obtained.
- the disinfectant used in the present invention may be used with the disinfectant remaining on the surface of the article to be disinfected treated with the disinfectant.
- the osmotic pressure is desirably set to 250 to 35 OmOsm so that no adverse effect can be caused on the living body. Therefore, in order to adjust to such a desired osmotic pressure, various known isotonic agents such as sodium chloride and potassium chloride are further added and contained in appropriate amounts in the disinfecting solution. It is desirable to be confused. For example, when sodium salt is used as the tonicity agent, an amount of 0.7 to 1.2% by weight based on the total weight of the disinfecting solution, preferably 0.8 to 1.2% by weight. It will be used in a proportion of 1.1% by weight.
- the osmotic pressure of the disinfectant is almost equal to the osmotic pressure of tears, even if the contact lens with the disinfectant remaining on the surface is worn as it is, the disinfectant may enter the eye. Irritation to the wearer's eyes can be advantageously reduced.
- aqueous medium containing various components as described above examples include water itself such as tap water, purified water, and distilled water, as well as a solution mainly composed of water, for example, physiological saline. Needless to say, known aqueous liquids such as a preserving solution for contact lenses and a cleaning solution can also be used.
- the disinfecting solution having the above-described various components appropriately added and contained is used to make the disinfecting solution 3 to 10 mm deep or thick.
- the article to be disinfected (disinfected article) is stored in a predetermined container and immersed in the disinfecting solution, and at least in the depth direction or the thickness direction of the disinfecting solution.
- the disinfection processing of the article to be disinfected is performed.
- the light for irradiating the disinfecting solution in which the article to be disinfected is immersed is generally from 250 to 38 5 so that the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide can be advantageously promoted.
- Ultraviolet light (UV light) having a wavelength of nm, preferably 280-385 nm, more preferably 320-380 nm, will be employed.
- the light is not particularly limited as long as it contains light having such a wavelength as a main wavelength. Examples of the light include natural light, UV light emitted from an appropriate exposure device or light irradiation device, and a light bulb or a fluorescent lamp. UV light etc. can be used.
- the disinfected articles immersed in the disinfecting solution may be adversely affected, for example, contact lenses may be deteriorated.
- hydrogen peroxide has low stability to light, so it can be decomposed by irradiating light with a wavelength longer than 385 nm.
- the above wavelength range light having a dominant wavelength in the range of 250-385 nm Is adopted.
- the light intensity at the main wavelength is 0.3 to 1.0 mW / cm 2 . If the light intensity is too low, hydrogen peroxide cannot be sufficiently decomposed and the intended disinfection effect cannot be sufficiently achieved, and conversely, the light intensity is too high. Although the disinfecting effect is obtained, the disinfected article immersed in the disinfecting solution has an adverse effect. This is because there is a risk of being triggered.
- the time for irradiating the disinfectant with the light as described above to disinfect the target disinfected article depends on the type of the disinfected article, the wavelength of the light to be employed, It is determined appropriately taking into account the strength and other factors.However, in order to obtain the intended disinfection effect sufficiently, irradiation time of 30 minutes or more is usually required. In order to improve the efficiency of disinfection work, it is usually 12 hours, preferably about 6 hours.
