Good morning,
I am currently reviewing the contents of our Creutzfeldt Jacob Disease (CJD) spill kit. Could you please let me know (via direct email) what product you have available for cleaning spillage of higher infectivity tissue from patients in either the low or high risk CJD categories.The current National Guidelines state:
Environmental
Cleaning
Routine containment and cleaning procedures apply unless major contamination with higher-infectivity
tissue has occurred. Spill-Kits containing either 1M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or 20,000ppm (free chlorine) sodium
hypochlorite should be available in areas of increased risk such as neurosurgery operating rooms,
mortuaries and laboratories. Occupational health and safety recommendations and material safety data
sheets (MSDS) must be available. Expose area with freshly prepared solution for 1 hour and then rinse
with water. Surfaces that cannot tolerate NaOH or sodium hypochlorite should be cleaned using anionic
detergent.
