5.3 I
NSTRUCTING USERS AND STAFF
In order to ensure that cleaning and disinfection are conducted properly, we recommend
that users and staff are appropriately instructed.
They should be instructed to observe the following points:
•
A clean bed must be transported in such a way that it will not become dirty or
contaminated during transport.
•
Staff must be informed of the special measures required for cleaning and
disinfection and should carry out the procedure in a reliable manner (the operator
should specify the operational procedures and the individual procedural steps).
Care must be taken that only disinfection agents approved by the DGHM or VAH
(German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology) are used, and that these are
used only in the approved concentrations.
The disinfection agent must be suitable for use with the surfaces to be
disinfected.
•
For this activity, staff must be provided with (disposable) aprons and gloves
which are impermeable to fluids.
•
For cleaning, only fresh, clean cloths may be used which are subsequently
laundered.
•
When cleaning/disinfecting work has been completed, the staff must disinfect
their hands before carrying out other tasks.
Staff should be equipped with a suitable pump dispenser containing a
disinfectant for hands.
•
Cleaning the bed immediately at its usual location has the advantage that no
“dirty” beds or bed components come into contact with clean beds. The transfer
of potentially infectious germs that may be on the used bed frame is prevented in
this way.
A transfer of germs in terms of a nosocomial infection can be safely avoided by
consistently and thoroughly following these recommendations.
•
When the bed is not immediately reused, it should be stored (covered) in such a
way that it is protected from dust, inadvertent soiling and contamination.
