Dear Colleagues
Can I assume the Ebola preparedness webinar is the endorsed ACIPC national strategy/approach for Ebola PPE training that we should all be adopting?
Kind regards

Dear All
I think it would be worthwhile seeking a statement from our colleagues in HHA on this aspect of the CDC guidelines before we translate it into our Ebola guidelines.
“Disinfection of gloved hands using either an EPA-registered disinfectant wipe or alcohol-based hand rub between steps of taking off PPE.”
Kind regards

T: + 61 3 9342 8328 | F: + 61 3 9342 7277 | e: louise.hobbs@mh.org.auHey all Ebola champions
just been asked by my boss here what others are considering or have to hand re the new CDC guidelines
http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2014/fs1020-ebola-personal-protective-equipment.html
re this point specifically
Disinfection of gloved hands using either an EPA-registered disinfectant wipe or alcohol-based hand rub between steps of taking off PPE.
Will you be considering ABHR or a disinfectant wipe…if a wipe what would you use.
We are just trying to understand what specifically is in the EPA registered disinfectant wipe so we can match it with what we have TGA approved and available in Australia as there are many listed but not available in Australia
We have a disinfectant wipe here we use for environmental cleaning (I know I can’t name products on this forum) here but know there are other products. Can anybody send me what they are using off line and if it comply with the EPA list as recommended by the CDC (I know you are busy so a quick reply with just a name would be great!)
Hope you are all travelling well…huge body of work being done by us all trying to have consistency for staff and pt safety and calm …another thesis for somebody in the making hey?
Thank you so much for those of you who have kindly shared so much already you are all such a wonderful group to be able to liaise and work with …I love being an ICP when I get to work with such proactive resourceful sharing bunch as we all are!!
Cheers
Lindy
