Abstract

Since equipment currently being used in the department of radiological technology in hospitals comes intocontact with patients carrying diseases, there inevitably will be the existence of pathogenic bacteria.Therefore, in order to increase the importance of using disinfectant in hospital infection precaution and therecognition of hospital infection management, comparisons were made by measuring the bacterialcontamination levels in radiology room within the department of radiological technology and comparing themeasurements with post disinfection levels. Disinfecting the rooms from detected bacteria was conductedwith water, tissue cleaner, or 70% alcohol. When measuring bacterial contamination levels in radiologyrooms, a variety of bacteria was detected. When disinfecting the interior of radiology rooms theeffectiveness of destroying bacteria and preventing hospital infection was greatest when using 70% alcoholcompared to water, tissue cleaner and ventilation. Therefore, there needs to be a development of a betterantiseptic for destroying bacteria because there is a possibility for hospital medical equipment to beconstantly contaminated. Efforts need to be made to prevent hospital infections and patient secondaryinfection by disinfecting and sterilizing equipment.
