Author(s): BM Andersen, K Hochlin and JP DalingBM Andersen, K Hochlin and JP Daling
Summary Objectives: Outpatients have increasing need for reusable medical equipments, including respiratory tract equipments. Infection control routines for these devices are often superficial or may even be missing. In the Oslo region, approximately 22 000 outpatients are using different forms of medical equipments. The service of reusable medical equipment includes cleaning, reparation, maintenance and replacement of inner or outer parts. This is done periodically or more often when needed, and always before a new user. Methods: A systematically manual procedure for cleaning (soap and water) and decontamination (heated water at 85°C in washing machine or liquid chloramines 5%.) procedure has been developed for all medical equipment received from outpatients. From 2007 on, a gas decontamination method was developed, using 5% dry mist of hydrogen peroxide gas .. View More»
