Because iodophor has a certain shelf life, the active ingredient in it is some iodine complex, which can disinfect the wound. If it expires, the Luohe substance in these acupoints is prone to some degeneration and deterioration, which may not be effective for the wound, and the disinfection effect may also cause some other injuries to the wound. Therefore, once the iodophor expires, it can't be used in the future. If the iodophor is not expired, it can't be used in an open position for a long time.

Interpretation of frequently asked questions of SIFIC in standardized management of hospital infection in China pointed out that in the absence of evidence-based medical evidence, small package disinfectants should be implemented according to the requirements of triple bottle disinfectants, that is, they should be replaced twice a week.
