The amount of medical waste, especially infusion bottles, is a problem for environmental pollution. Improper management of infusion bottle waste can have an impact on disease transmission. The medical waste treatment used high technology and high costs will be a financial burden, so simple and effective treatment innovations is needed. This study uses an experimental method of removing bacteria from infusion bottles using a mixture of water and Andoso soil as a solution for washing infusion bottle waste. The soil solution concentration used in washing was 45% with a contact time of 2 minutes. The experiment was carried out with two repetitions. The treatment effect on decreasing the number of bacteria using a multiple linear regression mathematical model. The results showed that the disinfection process of bacterial-contaminated infusion bottles using water required rinsing up to six times, whereas using 45% andosol soil solution only rinsed once. The effectiveness of the disinfection of infusion bottles contaminated with bacteria using soil solution reduces the number of bacteria by 98%.

With the continuous progress of medical technology, traditional medicine bottle identification and management methods have problems such as low efficiency and large errors, and innovative solutions are urgently needed. Due to its high sensitivity and rapid response characteristics, this study aims to develop a robot system for intravenous infusion based on nanophotonics sensing to realize accurate identification, grasping and opening of medicine bottles in a dynamic environment, so as to improve the safety and efficiency of intravenous infusion. In this paper, an intelligent robot system with nanophotonics sensor is designed, which uses nanomaterials to produce high sensitivity sensor, so as to realize the information recognition of medicine bottle labels.

Objective: Meropenem degradation poses a challenge to continuous infusion (CI) implementation. However, data about the impact of degradation on the probability of target attainment (PTA) of meropenem has been limited. This study evaluated the stability of meropenem brands and the consequence of in-bottle degradation on PTA in different environmental scenarios.
