Safety performance testing and evaluation of class Ⅱ biological safety cabinets in a hospital
Objective To understand the safety evaluation and operation status of class Ⅱ biological safety cabinets in a hospital.Methods Through the instrument detection method,according to the related specifications requirements,the safety-related performance of 18 class Ⅱ biosafety cabinets in a hospital was tested.Results The average qualified rate of safety performance indexes of 18 class Ⅱ biological safety cabinets in this hospital was 44.44%.The integrity of the air inlet high efficiency particulate air filter of the biological safety cabinet was all qualified.The qualified rates of airflow mode,downflow air and inflow air were 77.78%,83.33%and 77.78%,respectively.The qualified rate of noise was 83.33%.The qualified rates of cleanliness and UV lamp irradiation intensity were 100.00%.Conclusion The qualified rate of some key indicators of class Ⅱ biological safety cabinets in use in this hospital is high,but the overall qualified rate of safety testing is low.It is necessary to strengthen special supervision,monitoring and maintenance management.
