Decontamination System Aids Healthcare Facility Sterilization

View Comments (0)Print ArticleEmail Article

Effective, safe and thorough disinfection of hospital rooms and operating suites is now more easily attained through the use of an innovative infection prevention technology that reduces the risk of patient contact with infection-causing pathogens.

The GLOSAIR Healthcare Environmental Decontamination system by Advanced Sterilization Products augments manual cleaning processes and has reportedly been shown to be more effective in the reduction of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) pathogens as compared to cleaning alone.  

By creating a fog of 5 percent hydrogen peroxide that is uniformly dispersed, the system disinfects all hard, nonporous surfaces including difficult-to-reach areas. Useable on bed rails, TV remotes and IV pumps, GLOSAIR provides HAI control and prevention. Healthcare facilities can reduce the number of these pathogens in the hospital environment by introducing enhanced, deep cleaning and disinfection protocols to current practices.

Educational Tool Cuts Down Healthcare Infection Risks
Healthcare providers now have the ability to better identify risks for exposure to bloodborne pathogens through a new program developed by BD Medical, a leading provider of IV catheters.

The BD Making Safety SaferSM program provides nurses and other professionals with a forum to share information on risks, precautions and interventions; learn from experts and peers; and assist hospitals and other healthcare organizations in addressing ongoing concerns relating to blood exposure due to insertion of a short peripheral IV catheter.

By educating on the approach of short peripheral IV insertion, such as using appropriate personal protective equipment and taking other appropriate precautions to better protect against contaminated blood, the tool helps ensure safety of providers and other patients.
