Hi Russ,
Thanks for the link.
I'm sure the CQC looked at more than handwashing, but it was widely put round our organisation that any inspection
would concentrate on cleanliness and infection control. I suspect that any inspection by the CQC would cover a fairly specific area depending on which way the political/ media wind is blowing. They wouldn't have the resources to inspect all aspects.
Back to medical equipment, the CQC document does not mention the most appropriate document,
DB2006(05) . Have a look through this document, it should put you on the right track.
p.s. I'm not sure if this is the most up to date version, I'm sure someone out there will put us right.
