    Should also add that we use the same product for all beds on patient discharge (regardless of known MRO status) as part of our horizontal precautions approach.

    Hi Sam

    Combined detergent and NaDCC product at 1000 ppm for transmission-based precaution rooms including gastro and C. diff
    For all toilets (staff, public and patient) hotel service staff use the product routinely

    Hi Sam,
    At Austin Health we use a cleaning/disinfection product with 1000 ppm sodium hypochlorite for all environmental cleaning in clinical areas. In addition we perform very detailed “super cleans” with a dedicated cleaning staff of our high risk patient areas 3 times a year – using this product. There is not a different chemical or method used for transmission based precaution rooms.

    Happy to discuss further offline if you wish.

    Kind regards,

    Good morning,

    Just wanted to do a snap pole…

    1 What bleach concentration do you use in your facilities?
    2 Bleach concentration for cleaning additional precaution rooms, is this different if c.diff or gastro?
    3 Do you routinely clean all toilets with bleach?

    Many thanks,
    Sam
