CJD policies

[John Ferguson]

Dear all,

Wed be grateful to look at your current policies as ours is well out of date (am aware of the national document) .

In common with many, many of our CSDs have adopted enzyme agents that are prion active and validated to reduce same by required proportion which adds a layer of safety. Im interested to learn to what extent others have been able to wind back parallel systems for sterilisation by having a mainstream approach that is of proven effectiveness against prions?

Thanks
John
