Afternoon all
We seem to be constantly reviewing what our organisation uses to clean/decontaminate medical devices.
We work closely with the Control of Infection team to try to come up with suitable cleaning products for the ward/departments staff to use to decontaminate devices either between patients or prior to sending down to us.
We have also had guidance from different equipment supplier/manufacturers as to what products to use (or not use) and also what substances that may be in these cleaning agents that may have a detrimental effect on the devices.
We have been using products supplied by PDI (Sani-Cloth Advanced and Super Sani-Cloth Plus wipes).
We have had a supply issue with these and the Trust has been trialling new products.
We have been told by certain companies to avoid products containing dimethyl benzel ammonium or Hydrogen Peroxide at certain concentrations
Any info greatly appreciated
