Hi,
I am after information on how other non-acute healthcare settings have prepared for accreditation against the requirements of NSQHSS items 3.16.1 and 3.17.1 which address re-useable devices.
My sense is that these are designed to address IPC / quality standards around reprocessing or re-using sterile or invasive devices and apply to activities around sterilisation, invasive procedures using sterile instruments, scopes etc etc that require re-processing for re-use between patients. (We do not undertake any activity that applies to this)
However has anyone addressed / included in their evidence: cleaning of single patient re-useable non-invasive devices such as nebuliser pots, oxygen masks; or multiple patient re-usable non-invasive equipment such as blood pressure cuffs, tourniquets, oximeter probes etc etc (which of course are cleaned, but do they fall into the accepted definition of a ‘re-useable’ or ‘reprocessable’ device?
I don’t think that this would be caught up under these NSQHSS items but may well be incorrect in my interpretation.Any feedback / further discussion is appreciated

You are right Cathy
I just had the opportunity to set up SSD at a new facility and addressed the requirements of Standard 3.16.1 and 3.17.1. I view it as an overlap between nursing cleaning protocols and SSD. A procedure must be in place however, notwithstanding where the responsibility falls into. Among others:
* Use of manufacturer recommended process/wipe
* Frequency of cleaning
* Responsibility and sign off.
We need to provide an evidence that these medical devices that require cleaning is addressed appropriately.Happy cleaning
