Thank you Michael
Sorry
I do mean dry sheets, pillow cases and blankets

Mater Health Services North QueenslandHi Jenny
What ‘linen’ do you mean? Are they reusable washable textiles used under the patients arm at the AV fistula? Are they dry sheets, blankets and pillow cases used by the patient? Surely not towels or face washers that have had moisture on them?
It doesn’t seem to make much economic sense to me to reuse linen, and cost of storage between visits must be quite expensive (as I know the dialysis units I have been involved with were always very space poor due to the number of disposables they had to store).
More specific information on what they are reusing would allow more comment on the possible clinical risks, though.
Cheers

[2019 conference email signature]Good afternoon everyone
I am currently looking at infection control practises in our day renal unit and updating our policy
Does anyone have any information on1) linen usage in renal units
2) should linen be changed after each visit
3) if patient attends x3 weekly does their linen get stored, labelled and reused
I am not happy with current practise and wish to make some changes but require evidence to support my decision
Regards jenny

Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] Cleaning MRO roomsHello Brainstrust,
Do cleaners have to gown as well as glove up when cleaning Patients rooms with an MRO?.
Ours do but it has been questioned recently by staff due to the cleaners not touching the patient. There is nothing about this in the NSW health directives but we’re following the contact precautions protocol of PPE for pts with MROs.We have the cleaners clean the MRO rooms last.
Also if the floor is carpeted does the floor need to be shampooed or simply sprayed with an approved product for carpets on patient discharge.Thank you
