Hi there, we had these curtains up in our ICU for 12 months with no
issues. We replaced them once due to a contact precautions patient being
in a side room. As for the antimicrobial factor I am still not sure it
works. However they are very good at being able to be sponged clean if a
small spillage occurs on them.

Good morning Everyone,
I have a few questions today on disposable curtains and their use in
general and Transmission based precaution rooms. The company claims that
the curtains in anti-microbial and can hang for up to 12 months, unless
contaminated. Does anyone currently uses these curtains in your
facilities, and if so:
1. How often do you change them?
2. Do you throw them out when a patient gets discharged from a
Transmission based precautions room?
3. If it gets thrown out, do you do it for all organisms, or just for
Droplet and Contact spread organisms?
Thank you
