Research Data: Disinfection Timing Compliance for Medical Instruments Using AEOW

A comparative study conducted in a hospital Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) in September and October 2025. The dataset likely contains results comparing the performance of a TDS-triggered timer against digital kitchen timers for acidic electrolyzed oxidizing water (AEOW) disinfection. It was created by Wei Zheng and last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Compare disinfection timing execution rates between automated and manual timing methods based on the described experimental and control groups.
• Analyze the impact of TDS-sensing automation on disinfection duration compliance rates based on the reported metrics.
• Evaluate the reliability of an embedded Arduino-based device for traceable disinfection timing based on the described features of light alerts and data storage.

Strengths

• Provides specific performance metrics: a disinfection timing execution rate of 94.92% (655/690) and a compliance rate of 98.26% (678/690) for the experimental group.
• Includes a control group for comparison, with execution and compliance rates of 84.88% (713/840) and 93.69% (787/840) respectively.
• Results are statistically significant (P < 0.001), as stated in the description.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small (13.1 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a small number of observations.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Geographic and institutional context for the single-hospital study is unspecified, which may limit generalizability.
