Enzymatic effect of detergents diluted with tap water vs soft water in cleaning instruments
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Reisman Remuzgo, Delicia Mercedes; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: Establish the enzymatic effect of detergent dilutions: Soft water vs tap water in cleaning hospital instruments. Material and methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review, the search has been restricted to full-text articles, the selected articles were subjected to a critical reading, using Jover's evaluation to identify their degree of evidence. Results: In the final selection, 08 articles were chosen, we found that 60% correspond to Brazil, with 20% we find Cuba, and finally with 10% Mexico and Venezuela respectively. The investigations were experimental and a corresponding systematic review. 62.5% of scientific production comes from Brazil, while Mexico, Cuba and Venezuela constitute 12.5% each. Of the total number of articles analyzed, 30% affirm that the conditions and quality of water are important for adequate cleaning processes and other procedures related to health, 30% are related to the properties, characteristics and conditions in which enzymes exert adequate performance. Finally, 40% were related to the processes and interventions that revolve around the use of enzymatic detergents. Conclusions: The use of soft water in the dilution of the enzymatic detergent maintains the properties and chemical activity of the enzymes efficiently, allowing their action against organic matter.
