Application of the Infrared Spectroscopy to the Medical Instruments

In the medical field, medical instruments used in the operations should be measured their purification level after the washing and sterilization process, because it is necessary to evaluate them to be clear excellent. However, some problems existed in a current evaluation of purification level. The qualitative and the quantitative evaluation were not enough, and the residual detergent on them has been the other problem. Then, we examined an application of the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to qualitative and the quantitative evaluation concerning the soil in this research. This paper aims to propose a new evaluation of purification level. This measurement system is able to evaluate purification level promptly and accurately. In addition, this measurement system needs no preprocessing in every measurement. As a characteristic of measurement, anyone could use this system, and there is not influence of individual difference
