Hello Everyone,
We are currently experiencing some difficulties with disposing of consumables with this particular skin prep on them. Therefore, I am interested to know how facilities dispose of items/consumables that have the tinted red chlorhexidine surgical skin prep on them (mainly from operating theatre complexes). In particular which waste stream (ie general or clinical waste) do you put these items in?If you would like to contact me directly, please use my email or phone numbers listed address below.
Regards,

Dear Barbara,
In HK, with reference to the Code of Practice for clinical waste (COP) http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/clinicalwaste/english/downloads/files/cop_major.pdf, in principle, used items/consumables only Tinted Red Chlorhexidine 2% Surgical Skin Prep without other contaminant(s) that are specified in the aforesaid COP, these items are classified as municipal waste i.e. general waste.

Hi All
On the topic of Tinted Red Chlorhexidine 2% + alcohol surgical skin prep. The product that we currently have access to within our facility is not registered with the TGA for skin antisepsis. The company has offered to look into changing the labelling of the product to remove the reference to hard surface disinfectant and replace it with for presurgical skin preparation. My concern is that this doesn’t address the TGA registration matter.
Have any other facilities identified this issue? If so, how has this been managed? Is there more than one product on the market, and are alternate products TGA registered.
As a Local Health District we have decided to use and Alcohol and Iodine preparation for all presurgery skin preparation until this matter can be resolved. However, we do not have an alternate alcohol-based product that is suitable for use on patients with Iodine allergies.
Any advice or discussion regarding this matter is gratefully received.
Thank you
Beth

Morning Beth,
With regards to your query, you may wish to discuss your concerns with your pharmacy and look deeper into the THERAPEUTIC GOODS REGULATIONS 1990 – SCHEDULE 5A.
There are conditions within to address and assist with your concerns regarding TGA registration.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
