Hi All,
Does anyone have any documents/policies around cleaning of clinical equipment, who’s responsible for the cleaning and how frequently the equipment is cleaned?
Would appreciate any help :).
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Jayne,
a) Clinical/patient equipment should be cleaned and disinfected between each
patient useb) What clinical/patient equipment will tolerate in terms of cleaning and
disinfection agents will depend on the manufacturer’s instructions – this

Hi Jayne
Our facility recently reviewed cleaning clinical items, and have agreed on a shared process between a number of different groups of staff. This is identified with a chart that specifies whose responsibility to clean various pieces of equipment. These charts are placed in ward pan rooms as well as in ward cleaners’ cupboards. I’m not at liberty to share these, but hope you understand what I mean.
When we investigated cleaning clinical equipment in wards, we found many staff assumed someone else did it! So nurses assumed cleaners cleaned certain things, and cleaners assumed nurses cleaned certain things. That is why we came up with an agreed chart that shows who cleans what, when. Sometimes it will depend on when in the patient stay as to who cleans it. For example, IV poles and pumps are basically nursing staff responsibility to clean when taking out of an occupied patient room to use for another patient, but on discharge if IV pole and pump is in the room the cleaners will clean them as part of the discharge clean.
I would recommend you have some type of discussion forum with all the key players to agree on who does what, then make sure it is well communicated to all the relevant staff.
We also did this in theatres a while ago, and it was surprising who though who cleaned what between cases. Developing charts and flow charts to outline the process really helped make sure things were not missed.
Cheers

Hello Jayne
Ditto Ditto to absolutely everything Michael just said…having been through this few times now …………albeit still learning !!!
NSW ACI BMT Network ran an environmental cleaning audit and QI program a few years ago you may be interested in scanning their reports
https://www.aci.health.nsw.gov.au/resources/blood-and-marrow-transplantAll decisions were agreed to by local parties and signed off my senior management not Infection control (we even had some union involvement in some cases) to ensure that the process was workable and reasonable and always about staying focused around pt safety .. staff are really great in the whole as we all want the best for our pts it needs to be worked through , agreed to, planned & supported .
I will send you an email with some of the templates etc I have worked with various groups to help them establish processes if thats a helpful start .
Kind regards

Thank you Michael,
the main reason we are looking at this is because of the assumptions made between nursing and cleaners, about who is responsible and who has cleaned something etc..
Just getting all my ducks in a row to meet with our directors and NUMs. This has been an ongoing issue that some areas think is beneath them to clean equipment.
Thanks for the info.
