cleaning of rooms / equipment post BCG bladder instillation for CA Rx

[Lindy Ryan]

Dear Colleagues
we currently perform bladder BCG administration irrigation (using a
closed system) as part of therapy for bladder Ca in our cancer care
centre here & i am wondering if anyone else out there does this and if
so are would you be happy to share with us your cleaning &
decontamination process post pt discharge after treatment & any
references you may have for this.
I am just wanting to review out process here (in discussion with our
cancer CNC here) as its been a while and we are actually increasing our
numbers of pts undergoing this treatment & so just wanted to see if or
what may have changed & wondering if anyone out there can help

Kind regards
Lindy

Hi Lindy,

We do quite a lot of this in our Day Infusion Centre. Gowns, gloves, eye protection and PFR95 masks are worn to instill the BCG.
We have previously investigated whether this procedure requires a negative pressure environment however following a review and on advice from our Infectious Disease Physician / Clinical Microbiologist is that we don’t require special air handling.

In relation to cleaning it is routine room cleaning between patients. In the event of a spill a bleach clean is used to decontaminate the affected area.
Kind regards,

Fiona De Sousa
