Hi all, was wondering what other facilities are using for disinfecting the extreme risk areas
3.3.1 Extreme risk areas
The functional areas in this category represent areas that pose the greatest risk of
transmission of infection. Patients in these areas are very susceptible to infection or are
undergoing highly invasive procedures. In addition surgical instruments and stock are
stored in these areas. Cleaning outcomes must be achieved through the highest level of
cleaning intensity and frequency.
The use of disinfectants as part of routine cleaning is only required in10;
* Extreme Risk areas;
* As part of outbreak management; and
* Terminal cleaning following an MRO/infectious disease in any functional area.
For the use of an environmental cleaning disinfectant for any other reason staff must
contact the ICP for advice and approval that is based on the risk of contamination to
patients and others.Vicki Denyer

Hi Vicki,
At the RHH we use a combined detergent and sodium hypochlorite disinfectant solution at 1000ppm (commercially prepared solution). We use this as a 1 or 2 two-step agent. We clean and disinfect the room and associated items with the product and then rinse susceptible surfaces after a minimum 10 minute contact time. I would be happy to provide more detail re specifics if you would like to contact me directly.
Kind regards

Many thanks Rachel, would appreciate any feedback. I am particularly interested in theatres as they are very aware of time restraints with cleaning & with the new Environmental cleaning policy this will increase the time required if we go down the path of two step cleaning/disinfection.
