Objective To investigate the disinfection effect of an inorganic composite nanomaterial Ag-AgX/Zn-MOFs/TiO2 (X=Br, I) combined with chlorine-containing disinfectant and its indurability. Methods The high-frequency contact points in the intensive care unit (ICU) were disinfected. The experimental group were disinfected with 2 000 mg/L Ag-AgX/Zn-MOFs/TiO2 (X=Br, I) combined with 500 mg/L chlorine-containing disinfectant,and the control group were disinfected with 1 000 mg/L chlorine-containing disinfectant. The surfaces in ICU were wiped daily with correspond disinfectant at 14:00 and 20:00, respectively. Samples were collected at 0, 3 , 6 or 9 h after disinfection and the qualified rate were calculated. Results The qualified rate of faucet and bed rail before disinfection were 38.46% and 48.08%, respectively, and those of ventilator panel, infusion pump panel and keyboard ranged from 71.15% - 84.62%. The qualification rates of ventilator panel + infusion pump panel + keyboard and bed rail disinfection in the experimental group were 93.06% and 91.67%, respectively, those of the control group were 78.57% and 67.86%. The qualification rates of faucet disinfection in the two groups ranged from 42.86% to 67.86% at 3 h after 14:00 disinfection. The qualified rates of bed rail disinfection in the experimental group were 91.67%, 91.67% and 83.33%, respectively, and those of the control group were all <90% at 3, 6 and 9 h after 20:00 disinfection, those of faucets in the two groups ranged from 71.43% - 83.33%. The qualification rates of ventilator panel + infusion pump panel + computer keyboard disinfection in the experimental group were 100%, 100% and 94.44%, respectively, and those of the control group were 90.48%, 89.29% and 88.10%, respectively. Conclusion The compound disinfectant can effectively kill microorganisms in medical environment, and the disinfection effect can last for 6 h.
